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

Introduction: Maternal obesity is associated with increased concentrations of human milk (HM) obesogenic hormones, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and oligosaccharides (HMOs) that have been associated with infant growth and adiposity. The objective of this pilot study was to determine if adherence to a Mediterranean meal plan during lactation modulates macronutrients and bioactive molecules in human milk from mothers with obesity. Methods: Sixteen healthy, exclusively breastfeeding women with obesity (body mass index ≥30 kg/m Results: Participants' healthy eating index scores improved (+27 units, Discussion: Adherence to a Mediterranean meal plan increases dietary quality while reducing total fat and caloric intake. In effect, body composition in women with obesity improved, HM composition and infants' intakes were modulated. These findings provide, for the first time, evidence-based data that enhancing maternal dietary quality during lactation may promote both maternal and child health. Longer intervention studies examining the impact of maternal diet quality on HM composition, infant growth, and infant development are warranted.
