Feeding Difficulties in Late Preterm Infants and Their Impact on Maternal Mental Health and the Mother-Infant Relationship: A Literature Review.
Review in Nutrients, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Late preterm infants constitute the largest subset of premature infants and are more likely to experience feeding issues leading to delayed oral feeding independence and low breastfeeding rates. Considering the increased parental concern about their infants' nutrition and growth, we performed a literature review to provide an update on the feeding challenges faced by late preterm infants and the impact of these issues on maternal mental health and the mother-infant relationship. Based on our findings, late preterm infants have a high prevalence of feeding difficulties which need to be addressed by targeted support interventions to promote breastfeeding success and the establishment of a harmonious dyadic interaction between the mother and her infant, all of which contribute to the prevention of altered feeding behavior later in life. There is still a need for additional research to develop a standardized and shared strategy that can be proven to be effective. Should this be accomplished, it will be possible to offer appropriate support for mothers, encourage the oral skills and maturation of late preterm infants, and improve the relationship quality within the dyad.
