The role of residential distance in maternal breast milk intake in preterm and very low birthweight infants.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2026. 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
objectiveStudy the association of residential distance in the context of other socioeconomic factors with the availability of maternal breast milk (MBM) to reduce barriers and improve outcomes for very low birthweight preterm infants. STUDY
designThis prospective cohort study analyzed demographic, socioeconomic, and clinical data from 300 maternal-preterm infant dyads with infants born <1500 g. Data included residential distance from the hospital, comorbidities, and infant MBM intake measured as a percentage of total enteral intake.
resultsBivariate analysis revealed that maternal race, median income by zip code, marital status, and residential distance were significantly associated with MBM intake. In a multivariate regression model, only residential distance and marital status remained significant predictors, with greater distance from the hospital and marriage status associated with higher MBM intake.
conclusionResidential distance from the studied hospital was not a significant barrier to breastfeeding. Hospitals need to examine their own barriers to breastfeeding.
