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

backgroundFamily-centered care aims to consider family preferences and values in care delivery. Our study examines parent decisions regarding anesthesia type (caudal regional block or local anesthesia) among a diverse sample of children undergoing urologic surgeries. Differences in anesthesia type were examined by known predictors of health disparities, including child race/ethnicity, parental English proficiency, and a proxy for household income.

methodsA retrospective review of 4739 patients (including 25.4% non-Latino/a White, 8.7% non- Latino/a Asians, 7.3% non-Latino/a Black, 23.1% Latino/a, and 35.4% others) undergoing urologic surgeries from 2016 to 2020 using univariate and logistic regression analyses.

results62.1% of Latino/a parents and 60.8% of non-Latino/a Black parents did not agree to a regional block. 65.1% of Spanish-speaking parents with limited English Proficiency did not agree to a regional block. Of parents from households below poverty lines, 61.7% did not agree to a caudal regional block. In regression analysis, Latino/a and non- Latino/a Black youth were less likely to receive caudal regional block than non- Latino/a White patients.

conclusionsWe found disparities in the use of pediatric pain management techniques. Understanding mechanisms underlying Latino/a and non- Latino/a Black parental preferences may help providers reduce these disparities.
