High Black infant mortality in Wisconsin: factors associated with the ongoing racial inequity.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundWisconsin has the highest Black infant mortality rate (IMR) in the nation.
objectiveEvaluate factors associated with racial inequity in IMR in Wisconsin. STUDY
designBirths/deaths/IMR for Black and White infants from 2011 to 2016 were obtained from the Wisconsin Interactive Statistics on Health system, stratified by gestational age (GA), and compared using direct adjustment method. IMR were compared based on cause of death, maternal age, and education.
resultsCrude and adjusted IMR was 13.7 and 9.1 for black infants. Respective IMR for white infants was 4.8 and 5.3. Crude IMR was 180% higher in Black infants. After controlling for GA, IMR among Black infants was 70% higher. In term Black infants, deaths due to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), accidents, and assaults were markedly high.
conclusionsHigher IMR in Black infants was due to increased premature births and increased mortality among term infants. Potentially modifiable causes of death were SIDS, accidents, and assaults.
