Breastfeeding patterns and total volume of human milk consumed influence the development of the infant oral microbiome.
Article in Journal of oral microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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.
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
Background: The oral microbiome of breastfed infants is distinct from that of formula-fed infants. However, breastfeeding characteristics, such as time spent breastfeeding (min/24 h), breastfeeding frequency (number of breastfeeds per day), and human milk intake (ml/day) vary significantly between breastfeeding dyads. Objectives: Given that human milk and breastfeeding exposures likely influence early colonisation of the infant oral microbiome, this study aimed to elucidate the impact of breastfeeding characteristics on the development of the infant oral microbiome. Materials and methods: Oral swabs ( Results: Variations in breastfeeding characteristics contributed to differences in microbial community structure. Total breastfeeding duration (min/24 h) was positively associated with Bifidobacterium longum and Lactobacillus gasseri, while breastfeeding frequency was negatively associated with Veillonella sp. Additionally, human milk intake (ml/24 h) was negatively associated with Streptococcus parasanguinis. Conclusion: These findings underscore the significant influence of early life feeding practices on oral microbial communities and emphasise the importance role of breastfeeding in shaping the oral microbiome during early life.
