Detailed age, term status, health, eligibility and stimulus conditions remain unverified. Vaccination-infant ages and eligibility are not transferred. - Ingredient, formulation and route: The oral-sucrose procedural-pain trial in Slater's citation is linked. There is no separate original evidence-summary entry, and preparation, concurrent sucking, holding and feeding details are unlinked. - Dose: Exact concentration, volume, administration time, repetition and actual dose in the heel-lance neural trial remain unverified. Concentrations, volumes and pre-vaccination times from parent vaccination reports are not substituted. - Comparator: The heel-lance neural trial's exact control, group care, pacifier use, holding, feeding and adherence remain unverified.

External papers, registration, protocols, analysis plans and support disclosures are unread. Findings recorded in the summary: The stored account reports that breastfeeding was superior to sucrose and control for pain and crying in a trial of 120 infants, with P<.001. Record level: FLACC, crying time and heart rate are the original endpoint list. Individual heart-rate findings, group denominators, exact effects and CIs remain unverified. Breastfeeding superiority is not transferred to sucrose-only effects or reduced neural responses. This is parent vaccination-behavior context and is not transferred as direct effects or denominators for the selected heel-lance neural response. Independent replication: The selected neural-response question and the vaccination-behavior and crying question share parent reports. Slater's separate neonatal heel-lance citation is distinguished from vaccination reports by procedure, intervention, endpoints and denominators. Report slots and family links are not added into new unique trial, participant or independent neural-replication counts; those totals remain unverified. | Material | Public availability | Access status | Actually read | Notes | |---|---|---|---|---| | Stored existing review summary | Preserved copy of the complete parent-verdict stored summary | Stored summary | Summary read | PMID30807328 and DOI10.1097/NMC.0000000000000512 are retained.

External papers, registration, protocols, analysis plans and support disclosures are unread. Findings recorded in the summary: The parent account distinguishes the null prespecified pain-specific EEG primary endpoint during separate heel lance from behavioral-score differences and spinal reflexes. There is no separate entry in the stored evidence-summary list. Record level: This is a citation-only record relevant to the selected neural question. The original note's null prespecified EEG narrative is retained, but exact neural effects, P values, CIs, samples, measurement windows and the exact direction and size of behavioral differences are unlinked. A null narrative is not promoted into exact effect 0 or equivalence, and vaccination conditions or denominators are not filled in. Independent replication: The selected neural-response question and the vaccination-behavior and crying question share parent reports. Slater's separate neonatal heel-lance citation is distinguished from vaccination reports by procedure, intervention, endpoints and denominators. Report slots and family links are not added into new unique trial, participant or independent neural-replication counts; those totals remain unverified. | Material | Public availability | Access status | Actually read | Notes | |---|---|---|---|---| | Stored existing review summary | Preserved copy of the complete parent-verdict stored summary | Stored summary | Summary read | PMID20817247, DOI10.1016/S0140-6736(10)61303-7 and ISRCTN78390996 appear in the original citation.

They do not constitute official assessment-tool certification or a new efficacy score. - M03 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2023-08](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-03) · §3.1, §3.2.1–3.2.3, MECIR C5/C7/C13 · Clearly record the question, eligibility conditions and reasons for changes, and distinguish variations in interventions. · Existing methodological links were reused for production.

External originals were not reread and methodological content was not reassessed. - M08 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2019-10](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-08) · §8.1–8.2.3, Table 8.2.a · Define the outcome and effect of interest, then examine randomization, deviations, missing data, measurement and selective reporting. · Existing methodological links were reused for production. External originals were not reread and methodological content was not reassessed. - M15 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2023-08](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-15) · §15.2.4, §15.3.1–15.3.3 · Distinguish effect estimates, intervals, importance and applicability. Sample size alone does not determine precision. · Existing methodological links were reused for production. External originals were not reread and methodological content was not reassessed. - M19 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2019-10](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-19) · §19.1.2, §19.2.1–19.2.4 · Harm questions may require different designs, populations and follow-up from efficacy questions. Case reports do not establish incidence rates. · Existing methodological links were reused for production. External originals were not reread and methodological content was not reassessed. ## What the statuses mean - Partly verified: Partial information from the stored summary is linked; detailed originals and content review remain incomplete. - Unverified: Required details cannot be established within the preserved scope. This does not establish absence of effects or studies, or safety. - Review incomplete: Review of existing content remains incomplete. - Met: This state is used only within the relevant conditions after material verification and content review. It was not automatically assigned in this work. - Not reported: Unreported within material actually read. Unread external material is not relabeled as unreported. - Inaccessible: This means actual access failure. External access was not attempted in this work, so this state was not assigned. - Not applicable: Used only with an application exception and reason based on the question scope. - Conflicting data: This requires actual comparison of materials; no new conflict judgment was made in this work. - Insufficient evidence for the conditions: This indicates gaps in additional material for the selected conditions. Unread material as a whole is not converted into an efficacy grade. ## Change history 2026-10-21 · Public page/materials 1.0.
