1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveGuided by critical theory, this study illustrates the value of interpretative mapping to deconstruct bus travel to publicly funded prenatal care in a city marked by health and social inequities.

methodsThis mixed methods study used GIS maps based on 61,305 births to study the known barrier of transportation to prenatal care among urban mothers most at risk for preterm birth.

resultsAmong 350 census tracts, 36 census tracts had preterm rates between 25 -36.9%. Modeling travel time for the case vignette for routine prenatal care took 21 visits to different geographically located facilities. This burden increased to 32 visits if the case vignette was high-risk.

conclusionsInterpretative GIS mapping is an important tool to ground truth spatially linked data into real world meanings. Promoting optimal health requires innovative and feasible approaches that take into consideration daily maternal functioning as pregnant mothers care for their children and themselves.
