Human milk microbiota: origins, determinants, and roles in maternal-infant microbial transmission and infant microbiome assembly.
Review in Frontiers in microbiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Human milk is a complex and dynamic biological fluid that provides essential nutrients and harbors a diverse, functional microbiota, playing a critical role in infant microbial colonization and early life development. The milk microbiota is derived from multiple maternal and environmental sources, including the maternal gut via the entero-mammary pathway, the mammary and skin microbiota, infant oral microbes through retrograde flow, and environmental exposures. Its composition is influenced by a range of factors, such as maternal metabolic and health status, diet, and antibiotic use, as well as delivery mode, lactation stage, infant characteristics, and geographic context. Human milk contributes to the establishment of oral, airway, and gut microbial communities by transferring key taxa such as
