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

(1) Background: Breast milk is the only source of nutrition for breastfed infants, but few studies have examined the relationship between breast milk micronutrients and infant neurodevelopmental outcome in exclusively breastfed infants. The aim of this study was to characterize the association between nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-related compounds in the breast milk of Japanese subjects and infant neurodevelopmental outcome. (2) Methods: A total of 150 mother-child pairs were randomly selected from the three-generation cohort of the Tohoku Medical Megabank in Japan. Infants were exclusively breastfed for up to 6 months. Breast milk was collected at 1 month postpartum, and the quantity of NAD-related substances in the breast milk was quantified. The mothers also completed developmental questionnaires at 6, 12, and 24 months. The relationship between the concentration of NAD-related substances in breast milk and developmental indicators was evaluated via ordinal logistic regression analysis. (3) Results: Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) was quantified as the major NAD precursor in breast milk. The median amount of NMN in the breast milk was 9.2 μM. The NMN concentration in breast milk was the only NAD-related substance in breast milk that showed a significant positive correlation with neurodevelopmental outcome in infants at 24 months. (4) Conclusions: The results suggest that NMN in human milk may be an important nutrient for early childhood development.
