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.

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.

Abstract

This study examined the effects of intranasal breast milk administration on cerebral oxygenation, vital signs, and time to transition to full oral feeding in preterm infants. This assessor-blinded, randomized controlled trial included 40 preterm infants with gestational ages between 28

conclusionIntranasal breast milk administration has the potential to increase cerebral oxygenation in preterm infants. The maintenance of oxygen saturation and heart rate, along with good tolerance of the procedure, suggests that this intervention may be safe and feasible.

trial registrationThe trial was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov on 21 May 2024 (Identifier: NCT06706115). WHAT IS KNOWN: • Intranasal breast milk administration has been reported to have therapeutic potential in improving brain injury in preterm infants. • Intranasal administration of breast milk is known not to cause significant side effects in preterm infants diagnosed with intraventricular hemorrhage. WHAT IS NEW: • Intranasal breast milk administration may increase cerebral rSO₂ in preterm infants. • Intranasal breast milk administration did not affect preterm infants' heart rate, SpO₂ levels, time to transition to full oral feeding, length of hospital stay, daily vomiting, and stooling frequency.
