Infant mortality and income in 4 world cities: New York, London, Paris, and Tokyo.
Article in American journal of public health, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectivesWe investigated the association between average income or deprivation and infant mortality rate across neighborhoods of 4 world cities.
methodsUsing a maximum likelihood negative binomial regression model that controls for births, we analyzed data for 1988-1992 and 1993-1997.
resultsIn Manhattan, for both periods, we found an association (.05% significance level) between income and infant mortality. In Tokyo, for both periods, and in Paris and London for period 1, we found none (5% significance level). For period 2, the association just missed statistical significance for Paris, whereas for London it was significant (5% level).
conclusionsIn stark contrast to Tokyo, Paris, and London, the association of income and infant mortality rate was strongly evident in Manhattan.
