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

Maternal obesity alters breast milk composition in ways that may predispose infants to excess adiposity. While maternal exercise during lactation has been associated with favorable shifts in milk metabolites in humans, the mechanisms by which exercise remodels the mammary gland and milk lipid profile to influence offspring metabolism remain unclear. We developed a mouse model incorporating daily moderate treadmill exercise during lactation, indirect calorimetry, stable isotope tracer respirometry, and mammary epithelial cell (MEC) proteomics in lean (LN) and diet-induced obese (OB) dams. Maternal obesity broadly remodeled the MEC proteome, reducing enzymes of New and noteworthy: Maternal obesity alters milk fatty acid composition, with consequences for infant metabolism. Exercise during lactation in obese dams remodeled the mammary epithelial cell proteome, increasing medium-chain fatty acids in milk and enhancing lipid oxidation and energy expenditure in offspring.
