Racial differences in gestational age-specific neonatal morbidity: further evidence for different gestational lengths.
Article in American journal of obstetrics and gynecology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectiveWe sought to quantify the gestational age-specific morbidity of black vs white neonates. STUDY
designThis was a population-based retrospective cohort study of singleton live births in Ohio from 2006 through 2007. The primary outcome was a composite of adverse neonatal outcomes of ≥ 1 morbidity: Apgar score < 7 at 5 minutes, assisted ventilation > 6 hours, seizures, or neonatal transport to a tertiary care facility. Generalized linear regression estimated the relative risk of adverse neonatal outcome by week of gestation after adjustment for influential coexistent risk factors.
resultsThe frequency distribution curve of composite morbidity by gestational age were similar, but shifted to left (earlier gestational age) for black compared with white neonates. Adverse outcome was lower for black compared with white births at each preterm week of gestational age. The lowest adverse outcome rate for black neonates was at 38 weeks and 39 weeks for white neonates, each increasing by week of gestation thereafter.
conclusionThese data suggest that pregnancies in black women perhaps have a shorter physiologic gestational length.
