Relationship Between Birthweight for Gestational Age and Colostrum Macronutrient Composition: A Comparative Analysis in Small, Appropriate, and Large for Gestational Age Infants.
Observational study in Journal of human lactation : official journal of International Lactation Consultant Association, 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
backgroundHuman milk and colostrum have been well studied; however, limited data are available on the variations in macronutrient content when compared across different infant weight categories for infants with similar gestational ages. RESEARCH
aimsTo compare the colostrum macronutrient content of participants who delivered term infants classified as small for gestational age, appropriate for gestational age, and large for gestational age.
methodsIn this exploratory cross-sectional observational study (
resultsMedian colostrum protein content was significantly higher in the small for gestational age (4.8 [IQR = 3-6.4] gr/dl) and large for gestational age (4.4 [IQR = 3.5-5.3] g/dl) groups compared to the appropriate for gestational age group (2.8 [IQR = 2.1-3.7] g/dl;
conclusionColostrum macronutrient content varies depending on whether the birthweight is small or large for gestational age. Studies are needed to investigate these potential associations and the clinical consequences of this relationship.
