Factors Associated with Child-Welfare Involvement among Prenatally Substance-Exposed Infants.
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
objectiveTo assess factors impacting child-welfare involvement and child abuse and neglect outcomes among prenatally substance-exposed infants. STUDY
designThis was a retrospective review of case registry data regarding substance-exposed infants tracked statewide in Delaware from 2014 to 2018. Differences in maternal, infant, and substance exposure factors by level of child-welfare involvement (screened-in vs screened-out case status) and child abuse and neglect outcomes were examined. Screened-in status was defined as case acceptance for investigation, family assessment, or treatment referral. Using logistic regression, associations between factors and screened-in status and between factors and child abuse and neglect outcomes were assessed. Cases involving child abuse and neglect were analyzed qualitatively.
resultsAmong 1222 substance-exposed infants, 70% were screened-in by child welfare for ongoing involvement; 28 (2.3%) of substance-exposed infants were identified as child abuse and neglect victims sustaining serious physical or fatal injury before 1 year of age. Most substance-exposed infants remained with caregivers; few entered foster care. Polysubstance exposure and maternal mental health condition were factors associated with screened-in status. Neither substance exposure type nor maternal mental health condition reliably predicted future child abuse and neglect.
conclusionsSubstance-exposed infants had a significant risk for child abuse and neglect. Although maternal and substance exposure factors were associated with screened-in case status, they unreliably predicted future risk of child abuse and neglect.
