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

introductionReproductive health advantages have been reported among selected immigrants, but few studies have included new immigrants and refugees, nor simultaneously adjusted for socioeconomic, behavioral, and medical disparities.

methodsWe examined the risk of preterm birth (PTB, < 37 weeks' gestation) among singleton live births in San Diego County from 2007 to 2012. Multivariable regression was used to compare PTB (1) by nativity within racial/ethnic groups and (2) among immigrants compared to United States (US) born Whites, while adjusting for sociodemographic, behavioral, reproductive and medical variables.

resultsAmong 230,878 singleton live births, overall PTB prevalence was highest among parturient women who were US-born Blacks (10.9%), Philippine (10.8%) and US-born Filipinas (10.7%), and US-born Asians (8.6%) despite differences in socioeconomic and maternal risk factors, and lowest among Somali (5.5%) migrants. Blacks born in Somalia or outside of the US, had significantly lower overall PTB prevalence compared to US-born Blacks (5.5% vs 7.6% vs 10.9%). Compared to US-born Whites, spontaneous PTB risk was significantly lower among Somali migrants (4.8% vs 3.7%, adjusted relative risk, aRR 0.7 [95% Confidence Intervals 0.5-0.9]), but higher among Philippine migrants (4.8% vs 7.7%, aRR 1.4 [1.3-1.6]). The strongest risk factor for overall PTB among nulliparous US-born Blacks was preexisting diabetes (aRR 3.81 [2.05-7.08]), and preexisting hypertension among Filipinas (aRR: 3.27 [2.36-4.54] and US-born Asians (aRR: 3.64 [1.61-8.24]).

conclusionBlack migrants had lower PTB prevalence compared to US-born Blacks, but this immigrant advantage was not observed in other racial/ethnic groups. Compared to US-born Whites, Somali migrants had significantly lower risk of spontaneous PTB while Filipinas had elevated risk.
