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

objectiveHuman milk supports optimal health outcomes for infants in the neonatal intensive care unit; however, expressing milk is impacted by separation, stress, and time. We examined the impact of using videoconferencing with one's infant while expressing milk on the volume, efficiency, human milk macronutrient content, and the milk expression experience.

methodsIn this randomized controlled crossover trial (NCT03957941), mothers of premature infants expressed milk three times with videoconferencing and three times without. Milk volumes and expression time were self-recorded. Experience was assessed with the Breast Milk Expression Personal Experience (BMEE) subscale. Milk samples were analyzed using the Miris Human Milk Analyzer™. Data were analyzed using a panel data fixed-effects model to estimate within-person mean differences (MDs) between study arms in human milk volume, efficiency, macronutrient content, and BMEE scores.

resultsA total of 39 women were enrolled in the study, 28 provided milk volume and efficiency data, 26 completed BMEE scores, and 24 provided milk samples. Videoconferencing improved the milk expression experience, with mean BMEE subscale scores higher with videoconferencing (MD 0.10; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.02, 0.18;

conclusionsVideoconferencing with one's hospitalized premature infant improves the pumping experience. However, the use of videoconferencing was not associated with significant effects on human milk expression nor efficiency.
