Generations of loss: contemporary perspectives on black infant mortality.
Review in Journal of the National Medical Association, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
The U.S. black infant mortality rate (IMR) remains a significant public health concern. Although improved during the last four decades, the U.S. IMR remains within the lowest tier of IMRs for all industrialized countries, and black American infants remain disproportionately represented in low birthweight (LBW) and infant death statistics. Numerous risk factors have been analyzed for their relative contributions to the U.S. IMR and black-white infant survival health disparities. Those factors include prenatal care quality and access, maternal socioeconomic status (SES), HIV/AIDS status, infections, intrapartum risk factors, existing comorbidities, social support, and nutritional status. However, the role of these and other factors have not fully explained the higher infant mortality risks for black infants. This review will discuss a variety of risk factors that contribute to infant mortality disparities between non-Hispanic black and white infants. Among those factors, the goal will be to review selected topics pertaining to maternal SES, LBW, preterm birth, perinatology advances, birth record data quality, maternal stress, prenatal care adequacy, and physical and substance abuse, and the relationships of those topics to black-white IMR health disparities.
