Maternal Immigrant Status and Readiness to Transition to Home From the NICU.
Article in Pediatrics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesEvaluate effects of immigrant status on perceptions of discharge readiness in mothers of preterm infants <37 weeks' gestation and identify the impact of primary language and years in the United States.
methodsImmigrant (
resultsImmigrant mothers were more likely to be older, gravida >1, multiracial or people of color, and non-English speaking; have less than a high school education; and receive Medicaid but less likely to have child protective services involvement, substance abuse, and mental health disorder (MHD). Whereas rates of non-English primary language, low education, and Medicaid decreased, rates of MHDs increased with years in the United States. At NICU discharge, immigrant mothers had poorer perceptions of infant well-being, maternal well-being, maternal comfort, and time impact. In adjusted analyses, immigrant status, non-English primary language, and MHD predicted unfavorable scores. Among immigrant mothers, increased years in the United States and MHD predicted unfavorable scores.
conclusionsAlthough findings suggest acculturation with increased years in the United States, immigrant mothers perceived less discharge readiness in multiple domains, highlighting the need for culturally competent care and discharge services specifically tailored to help this vulnerable population.
