Changing socioeconomic inequality in infant mortality in Cumbria.
Article in Archives of disease in childhood, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
aimsTo investigate infant deaths in Cumbria, 1950-93, in relation to individual and community level socioeconomic status.
methodsRetrospective birth cohort study of all 283,668 live births and 4889 infant deaths in Cumbria, 1950-93. Community deprivation (Townsend score) and individual social class were used to estimate socioeconomic status. Logistic regression was used to investigate risk of infant death (early neonatal, neonatal, and postneonatal) in relation to social class and Townsend deprivation score, adjusting for year of birth, birth order, multiple births, and stratified by time period, 1950-65, 1966-75, 1976-85, 1986-93.
resultsThe risk of infant death in all categories was higher in the lower social classes and more deprived communities, although inequality in risk of neonatal death declined after 1975 to such an extent that there was no significant difference in neonatal death rates by socioeconomic status in the most recent time period. By contrast, there was no narrowing in socioeconomic inequality in postneonatal death risk over the study period. Community deprivation was associated with a significant increased risk of postneonatal death after adjusting for individual level socioeconomic status.
conclusionsPostneonatal deaths remain higher in the most deprived communities and in the more disadvantaged social classes. The social, lifestyle, and environmental determinates of adverse health outcomes for children need to be fully understood, and interventions should be designed and targeted at the more socially deprived sectors of our community.
