1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

There are circumstances in which breastfeeding is not possible and formula milk feeding has to be resorted to. In these cases, it is difficult to choose among the multitude of brands on the market for infant feeding. Although the composition of formula milk is largely regulated by legislation, there are certain nutrients whose presence in breast milk is beneficial. This circumstance will help us to establish some criteria to choose formula milk for a healthy infant. Among all the formula milks which can be found in different shops (pharmacies, supermarkets, etc.), market research has been carried out based on the nutritional criteria: the lipid and protein profile, certain carbohydrates, amino acids, and vitamins, as well as the presence of nucleotides, prebiotics, and probiotics. Based on these results, it can be established which formula milk we would give to a healthy infant. Thus, within the analyzed formula milks, it has been concluded that the most complete milk in this would be formula milk D and the least formula milk J. Although more studies are needed to confirm this, it is foreseeable that, as the scientific evidence is greater, the legislation will be updated and considering these nutrients for a correct formula milk.
