The socioeconomic and biological risk factors for developmental delay in early childhood.
Article in European journal of pediatrics, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
unlabelledTo investigate the biological and socioeconomic factors associated with developmental attainment in socioeconomically disadvantaged children. This study was performed at the Dr. Sami Ulus Children's Health and Diseases Training and Research Hospital, between January and December 2010. The effects of biological, socioeconomic risk factors on developmental delay were investigated in 692 children (3 months-5 years) using the Denver II. Low-level maternal education (odds ratio [OR], 11.118; 95 % CI, 4.211-29.351), low-level paternal education (OR, 2.107; 95 % CI, 1.333-3.331), low-level household income (OR, 2.673; 95 % CI, 1.098-2.549), and ≥ 3 children in the family (OR, 1.871; 95 % CI, 1.206-2.903) were strongly associated with abnormal on Denver II; biological risk factors, including birth weight, gestational age at birth, and maternal age at birth <20 years, were correlated with suspect on Denver II results based on univariate analysis. Low-level maternal education (OR, 6.281; 95 % CI, 2.193-17.989), premature birth (32-36 weeks of gestation; OR, 0.535; 95 % CI, 0.290-0.989) were strongly associated with abnormal on Denver II results, and low-level paternal education (OR, 3.088; 95 % CI, 1.521-6.268), low-level household income (OR, 1.813; 95 % CI, 1.069-3.077), low birth weight (<1,500 g; OR, 3.003; 95 % CI, 1.316-6.854), premature birth (27-31 weeks of gestation; OR, 2.612; 95 % CI, 1.086-6.286), and maternal age at birth <20 years (OR, 3.518; 95 % CI, 1.173-10.547) were strongly associated with suspect on Denver II results based on multivariate analysis.
conclusionSocioeconomic risk factors were observed to be as important as biological risk factors in the development of children aged 3 months-5 years.
