Breastfeeding in children with down syndrome.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionBabies with Down syndrome (DS) present physical characteristics that can make breastfeeding difficult, including hypotonia of the muscles of the oral cavity and pharynx which can create problems with sucking and swallowing. Breastfeeding has proven beneficial for babies, and it is recommended to be exclusive for the first 6 months. However, babies born with DS have a higher probability of not being breastfed.
objectiveDescribe the frequency and characteristics of breastfeeding in children with DS at the National Institute of Pediatrics, Mexico City.
resultsThe mothers reported that 98% of their babies had received mother's milk at least once and that 64% had received infant formula in the first three days of life. The median duration of breastfeeding was three months; 32.4% of the babies were exclusively breastfed for 6 months. Risk factors for not being breastfed were problems with sucking, swallowing, and not providing feeding on demand, as well as improper technique.
conclusionsOnly 32% of babies were exclusively breastfed, for various reasons.
