Human milk banking services: An umbrella review protocol.
Article in HRB open research, 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
Objective: To review the current state of the art of human milk banking including evidence on development and implementation of human milk banking services in middle- and high-income countries; models of delivery; and the roles of key stakeholders in supporting and sustaining human milk banking services. Introduction: Donor Human Milk (DHM) is human milk in excess of an infant's current and future needs that is donated for use by another infant. The World Health Organisation recommends that it should be available to all preterm and low birthweight infants. human milk banks (HMBs) require operational sustainability to ensure all year-round consistency and equity of DHM supply. This review will inform the co-design of an evidence framework for a national human milk banking resource network. Inclusion criteria: Systematic reviews of studies reporting on the development, implementation and sustainability of a milk banking service in middle- and high-income countries. Methods: The guidelines for umbrella reviews from the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis will be followed. A key word search strategy will be used to search: CINAHL (EBSCO), MEDLINE (EBSCO), PsycINFO (EBSCO), Embase (Ovid), JBI Evidence Synthesis, Epistemonikos, and the PROSPERO register. A grey literature search will be undertaken on Google scholar, BASE and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) website. English language and date restrictions (2000-current) will be used. Titles and abstracts and full-text articles will be independently screened by two reviewers. The reference lists of the included studies will be searched. Studies will be screened in Covidence by two independent reviewers. All reviewers will agree on the included studies. Data will be extracted and presented graphically using figures and tables. Narrative summary text will accompany the tables and figures.This protocol has been registered on PROSPERO.
