Efficacy of early enteral feeding with supplemented mother's milk on postoperative outcomes of cardiac surgical infants: A randomized controlled trial.

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
Introduction: Congenital heart disease (CHD)-associated malnutrition is a systemic consequence of CHD. Dietary recommendations to fulfill nutritional requirements are lacking. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted to determine the efficacy of early enteral feeding with supplemented expressed breast milk (suppl-EBM) versus expressed breast milk (EBM) in improving the weight of postoperative cardiac surgical infants. Objective: The primary objective was the weight change between the EBM group and the suppl-EBM group at the 15 Materials and Methods: This study was a parallel-group, open-labeled, single-blinded, variable block size RCT conducted at a tertiary care teaching hospital in northern India. Full-term breastfed infants ≤6 months, weighing ≥2.5 kg at birth, and undergoing congenital cardiac repair were enrolled in this study. The infants were fed either EBM or supplemented EBM in control and intervention groups, respectively. Weight and length were measured at baseline and 15 Results: The mean weight, weight change percentage, and weight for age z score were significantly higher in the supplemented EBM group ( Conclusion: Supplemented feeding may improve the weight of postoperative cardiac infants with no serious adverse events.
