Metabolic health conditions in pregnancy, human milk hormone concentrations, and infant adiposity.
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
objectiveTo explore differences in human milk hormones with metabolic conditions (obesity and/or diabetes) during pregnancy and the relationship with infant adiposity. STUDY
designIn a prospective cohort of term and preterm infants, hormones were measured in early human milk, and growth was assessed at discharge. Differences in hormones by metabolic conditions and the relationship with growth were modeled using quantile and linear regression.
resultAmong 38 infants (mean gestational age 35.2 weeks), 50% were in the metabolic-group. Milk leptin was higher in the metabolic-group, with median difference 427 pg/mL (95% CI: 3.2, 850.9). After adjustment for exposure to maternal milk, each 10-fold change in leptin related to 2.1 cm (95% CI: 0.3, 4.2) increase in abdominal circumference and each 10-fold change in insulin related to 1.1 cm (95% CI: 0.03, 2.1) increase in mid-arm circumference, while other effects were attenuated.
conclusionIn this explorative study, leptin was higher in human milk from women with metabolic conditions, and human milk hormones predicted growth at discharge.
