Gut microbiota development in very preterm infants following fortification of human milk.
Trial report in mSystems, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03537365 (Bovine Colostrum to Fortify Human Milk for Preterm Infants A Randomized, Controlled Pilot Trial), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 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.

Abstract
Very preterm infants (VPIs) are born with an immature gut and predisposed to gut microbiota dysbiosis-related diseases, for example, necrotizing enterocolitis. Although fortification of human milk is required for these infants, the optimal fortifier remains uncertain. Bovine colostrum (BC), rich in protein and bioactive components, could serve as an alternative to conventional fortifiers (CF). The gut microbiota (GM) of 225 VPIs fed human milk fortified with either BC or CF (FortiColos study, NCT03537365) was profiled by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing of fecal samples collected before, and after 1 and 2 weeks of fortification. Birth mode exhibited transient effects on the microbial community structure shortly after birth, with cesarean section-born VPIs dominated by
