Material community deprivation and hospital utilization during the first year of life: an urban population-based cohort study.
Article in Annals of epidemiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 158 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
purposeThe purpose of the study was to conduct an individual-level analysis of hospital utilization during the first year of life to test the hypothesis that community material deprivation increases health care utilization.
methodsWe used a population-based perinatal data repository based on linkage of electronic health records from regional delivery hospitals to subsequent hospital utilization at the region's only dedicated children's hospital. Zero-inflated Poisson and Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to quantify the causal role of a census tract-based deprivation index on the total number, length, and time until hospital utilization during the first year of life.
resultsAfter adjusting for any neonatal intensive care unit admission, chronic complex conditions, race and ethnicity, insurance status, birth season, and very low birth weight, we found that a 10% increase in the deprivation index caused a 1.032-fold increase (95% confidence interval (CI), [1.025-1.040]) in post initial hospitalization length of stay, a 1.011-fold increase (95% CI, [1.002-1.021]) in number of post initial hospital encounters, and 1.022-fold increase (95% CI, [1.009-1.035]) in hazard for hospitalization utilization during the first year of life.
conclusionsInterventions designed to reduce material deprivation and income inequalities could significantly reduce infant hospital utilization.
