Human milk and breastfeeding at the first oral feed for infants with critical congenital heart disease: a multi-institutional study.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
objectiveDescribe nutrition type/route at the first oral feed (FOF) for infants with critical congenital heart disease (CCHD); identify supportive/limiting factors. STUDY
designRetrospective cohort; adjusted regression estimated associations between parental/clinical factors and human milk or breastfeeding at the FOF.
resultFor 1355 infants across 15 sites, human milk was used in 78.5% of FOFs, with 34.5% breastfeeding. Human milk was associated with parent presence (OR: 5.32, p < 0.001) and with feeding/lactation consults (2.49, p < 0.001). Private insurance predicted human milk (1.87, p < 0.001) and breastfeeding (1.82, p < 0.001). Younger age (<2 days; 2.23, p < 0.001) and preoperative status (3.66, p < 0.001) were associated with breastfeeding.
conclusionThis is the first description of human milk/breastfeeding at the FOF in CCHD. Parent presence and feeding/lactation support were potentially modifiable factors.
