Pacifier use in preterm infants during orogastric tube feeding: a randomized trial.
Trial report in Revista da Associacao Medica Brasileira (1992), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05530733 (Clinical Effects of Pacifier Use in Preterm During Orogastric Tube Feeding), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
objectiveThe aim of this study was to examine the effects of pacifier use alone and combined with human milk on vital signs, feeding duration, and gastric residue in preterm infants during orogastric tube feeding.
methodsIn total, 90 preterm infants (gestational age 29+0 to 34+0 weeks) were randomly assigned to three groups: pacifier group, pacifier with human milk group, and control group. During feeding, the pacifier group received only a pacifier, while the pacifier with human milk group received a pacifier with 1-2 mL of human milk. The control group received no intervention.
resultsGroups were homogeneously distributed based on descriptive characteristics. Feeding duration was significantly shorter in both intervention groups compared to the control group. Additionally, heart and respiratory rates measured after feeding were significantly lower in these groups than during feeding.
conclusionThese findings suggest that pacifier use, with or without human milk, may be associated with more stable physiological responses after feeding and more efficient feeding in preterm infants. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: This study was prospectively registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, registration NCT05530733.
