Factors associated with breastfeeding in infants with trisomy 21.
Observational study in CoDAS, 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
purposeTo investigate the duration of breastfeeding (BF) and exclusive BF in infants with T21 and to verify the association between clinical and myofunctional orofacial conditions and the presence of BF and exclusive BF in the sixth month and in the first year of life.
methodsThis was a prospective, longitudinal, observational study with 90 infants with T21. Parents answered two questionnaires about clinical and BF conditions, one in the sixth and the other in the 12th month of the infant's life. Habitual lip and tongue posture was obtained through videos, and clinical history was obtained through medical records. The presence of BF and exclusive BF in the sixth and 12th months was associated with clinical and myofunctional orofacial conditions using Pearson's chi-square test, with a 5% significance level.
resultsThere were associations between male infants and the presence of BF/exclusive BF at the sixth month; formula use and absence of BF; BF in the first hour and the presence of BF in the first year; lung disease and BF in the first year; BF difficulties and BF in the sixth month; BF in the sixth month and latching difficulties; low milk production and absence of BF in the first year; pacifier use and absence of BF in the sixth month and of BF in the first year.
conclusionSex, lung disease, formula use, BF in the first hour of life, self-reported BF difficulties, low milk production, and pacifier use were factors associated with BF in infants with T21.
