Forest plot of the risk ratios of HTLV-1 MTCT in the STBF ≤ 6 months group compared with that of the ExFF group. Comparing STBF ≤ 6 months and ExFF showed that STBF ≤ 6 months was associated with an approximately 3-fold higher risk of MTCT than that of ExFF (pooled RR: 2.91, 95% CI: 1.69–5.03). Abbreviations: STBF, short-term breastfeeding; ExFF, exclusive formula feeding; M–H, Mantel–Haenszel; CI, confidence interval; RR, risk ratio; MTCT, mother-to-child transmission; events, number of cases with mother-to-child transmission; total, number of children born to carrier mothers; weight, influence of studies on overall meta-analysis.
