Incidence and determinants of sudden infant death syndrome: a population-based study on 37 million births.
Article in World journal of pediatrics : WJP, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundThe objective of our study is to measure the incidence of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), estimate the birth to death interval, and identify associated maternal and infant risk factors.
methodsWe carried out a population-based cohort study on 37 418 280 births using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's "Linked Birth-Infant Death" and "Fetal Death" data files from 1995 to 2004. Descriptive statistics and cox-proportional hazard models were used to estimate the adjusted effect of maternal and newborn characteristics on the risk of SIDS.
resultsThere were 24 101 cases of SIDS identified for an overall 10-year incidence of 6.4 cases per 10 000 births. Over the study period, the incidence decreased from 8.1 to 5.6 per 10 000 and appeared to be most common among infants aged 2-4 months. Risk factors included maternal age <20 years, black, non-Hispanic race, smoking, increasing parity, inadequate prenatal care, prematurity and growth restriction.
conclusionsWhile the incidence of SIDS in the US has declined, it currently remains the leading cause of post-neonatal mortality, highlighting an important public health priority. Educational campaigns should be targeted towards mothers at increased risk in order to raise their awareness of modifiable risk factors for SIDS such as maternal smoking and inadequate prenatal care.
