1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purpose of the reviewTo examine evidence for factors that program and impact regulation of energy intake in infancy. RECENT

findingsInfants regulate energy intake within a narrow margin, and this capacity may degrade with age as volume-based regulation emerges. However, feeding frequency, milk/formula protein content and/or structure, portion size, and caregiver encouragement can interrupt this regulation. Emerging evidence also suggests that some infants exhibit signs of reward-driven eating, which may also affect energy intake. Despite emphasis on obesity prevention in infancy, few studies directly examine milk/formula, food, or energy intake and even fewer use experimental methods to assess causation. Existing experimental evidence suggests a limited and diminishing regulation of energy intake through infancy and beyond. More research is needed to understand individual differences between infants in regulation of energy intake and propensity for reward-driven eating.
