Geographic Variation in Sudden Unexpected Infant Death in the United States.
Article in The Journal of pediatrics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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 assess the geographic variation of sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) and test if variation in geographic factors, such as state, latitude, and longitude, play a role in SUID risk across the US. STUDY
designWe analyzed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Cohort Linked Birth/Infant Death dataset (2005-2010; 22 882 SUID cases, 25 305 837 live births, rate 0.90/1000). SUID was defined as infant deaths (ages 7-364 days) that included sudden infant death syndrome, ill-defined and unknown cause of mortality, and accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed. SUID geographic variation was analyzed using 2 statistical models, logistic regression and generalized additive model (GAM).
resultsBoth models produced similar results. Without adjustment, there was marked geographic variation in SUID rates, but the variation decreased after adjusting for covariates including known risk factors for SUID. After adjustment, nine states demonstrated significantly higher or lower SUID mortality than the national average. Geographic contribution to SUID risk in terms of latitude and longitude were also attenuated after adjustment for covariates.
conclusionUnderstanding why some states have lower SUID rates may enhance SUID prevention strategies.
