Observational study in BMJ open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06285630 (The Development and Health of the Intestinal Flora During the First Year of Life), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.

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.

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.

Abstract

purposePREVENT 1 is a nationwide, prospective Swedish infant cohort established to characterise gut microbiome development during the first 2 years of life and to relate microbial trajectories to feeding, infections, growth and everyday well-being. The study integrates repeated infant stool sampling with shotgun metagenomics analysis with aligned parental questionnaires, stool photographs and infant cry recordings collected at three approximately 3-month intervals for each infant.

participantsFamilies were recruited nationwide in Sweden from September 2023 through targeted digital channels. Eligible participants were term-born infants residing in Sweden and aged <1 year at enrolment. Baseline questionnaire data and stool samples were collected from 253 infants. Parents completed questionnaires covering socio-demographic characteristics and health, pregnancy and delivery, postnatal factors, infant environment, feeding and growth, infections and other health outcomes, gastrointestinal symptoms and everyday well-being. FINDINGS TO DATE: Retention was high, with 248 families completing at least one follow-up questionnaire at Phase 2 and 243 at Phase 3. For stool samples, 250 infants provided at least two samples and 241 provided all three. At enrolment, 42.3% of infants were older than 7 months, 73.9% had weight-for-length z-scores in the normal range and exclusive breastfeeding at 4 months was reported for 58.9%. FUTURE PLANS: Three-phase sample and questionnaire data collection was completed in December 2024. Future analyses will examine microbiome features, resistome profiles and functional pathways in relation to antibiotic exposure, feeding, growth and infant health outcomes. Subject to ethical approval and participant consent, follow-up may include further stool collection and Swedish register linkage. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT06285630.
