The German case-control scene investigation study on SIDS: epidemiological approach and main results.
Article in International journal of legal medicine, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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 present study, which was part of the German SIDS Study (GeSID), enrolled sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) cases and population controls and obtained objective scene data via specifically trained observers shortly after discovery of each dead infant. Infants who had died suddenly and unexpectedly at ages between 8 and 365 days were enrolled in five regions of Germany between November 1998 and October 2001. Shortly after discovery of each dead infant, a specially trained doctor of legal medicine visited the bereaved family at home. Data were obtained by measurements and observations. Dead infants underwent a standardised autopsy, additional information being obtained by standardised parent interviews. Investigation of the sleep environment and wake-up scene in matched controls followed the same protocol. A total of 52 SIDS cases and 154 controls were enrolled, 58% were boys, and median age of cases vs. controls was 126 vs. 129 days. Risk factors in the sleeping environment were pillow use (adjusted OR 4.3; 95%CI 1.6-11.6), heavy duvets (OR 4.4; 1.5-13.3), soft underlay (OR 3.0; 1.1-8.7), face covered by bedding (OR 15.8; 2.5-102.1) and entire body covered by bedding (OR 35.5; 5.5-228.3). Using a standardised protocol, including objective measurements of the sleep environment and a case-control design, this study was able to confirm many risk factors for SIDS.
