The triad of maternal gut-breast milk-infant gut microbial transmission in early life as a critical pathway for microbial inheritance.

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
Although maternal microbial inheritance is recognized, the temporal dynamics of how the maternal gut microbiota shapes the infant gut microbiota via specific routes remain unexplored. We performed longitudinal, multi-site microbiota sampling in 30 mother-infant pairs (including 14 exclusive breastfeeding and 16 mixed breastfeeding) from birth to one month, stratified by lactation stages. To trace the origin of breast milk microbiota, we also analyzed colostrum and gut samples from 8 postpartum mothers separated from their infants. Using 16S RNA sequencing, we analyzed microbial diversity and correlations across lactation stages. The results demonstrated that the gut microbiota of exclusively breastfed newborns on the first day primarily originated from breast milk and exhibited remarkably high diversity. We identified maternal gut-breast milk-infant gut transfer as a key pathway for microbial inheritance, with
