Joinpoint Trend Analysis of Infant Mortality Disparities in Wisconsin, 1999-2016.
Article in American journal of public health, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectivesTo address shortcomings of previous research exploring trends in racial, educational, and race by educational disparities in infant mortality rates (IMRs) by using nonlinear methods to compare improvement within and between disparity domains.
methodsWe used joinpoint regression modeling to perform a cross-sectional analysis of IMR trends from linked birth and death certificates in Wisconsin between 1999 and 2016.
resultsIn the race and education domains, IMR decreased by 1.9% per year for infants of White mothers and 1.1% per year for infants of less-educated mothers. Further analysis showed these IMR reductions to be among infants of White mothers with more education (-0.6%/year) and Black mothers with less education (-2.0%/year).
conclusionsAs previously reported, gaps in IMR by race and education in Wisconsin appear to be closing; however, only the change by education is statistically significant. Evidence suggests the racial divide in IMR might soon widen after years of progress in reducing IMR among infants of Black mothers. Public Health Implications. Those advancing strategies to address IMR disparities should pursue data and methods that provide the most accurate and refined information about the challenges that persist and progress that has been realized.
