Prenatal care and risk of preterm birth among foreign and US-born mothers in Michigan.
Article in Journal of immigrant and minority health, 2012. 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
Studies among ethnic minorities suggest that prenatal care (PNC) may be less protective against preterm birth (PTB) among foreign-born relative to US-born mothers. We assessed relations between nativity, PNC inadequacy, and PTB risk over 17 years in one US state. Adjusted multivariable models were fit to assess the potential interaction between nativity and PNC inadequacy as a determinant of PTB. Additionally, we calculated predicted probabilities of PTB by PNC inadequacy, stratified by nativity. In adjusted models of PTB, there was a significant interaction (P (interaction) < 0.01) between nativity and PNC inadequacy. US-born mothers who did not use PNC adequately had 2.9% higher predicted probability of PTB than adequate users, which compares to 1.9% difference among foreign-born mothers. While adequate PNC use was lower among foreign-born compared to native born mothers, when accessed, PNC use may be less protective against PTB among foreign-born mothers relative to native-born mothers. Differences in cultural health traditions during pregnancy, or baseline health status between foreign and native-born mothers may mediate our findings.
