Health of Infants Born to Venezuelan Refugees in Colombia.
Article in Journal of immigrant and minority health, 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
Little is known about the health of infants born Venezuelan refugee women in Colombia. Using birth certificate data, we compared birth weight, gestational age, and Apgar scores between births to Venezuelan refugee women and Colombian women in 2016-2018 using logistic regression. We also compared number of prenatal visits and health insurance coverage. Infants born to Venezuelan refugee women were more likely to be preterm (OR=1.14 [95%CI:1.07,1.23]), extremely preterm (OR=1.71 [95%CI:1.19,2.46]), low birth weight (OR=1.30 [95%CI:1.18,1.42]), and very low birth weight (OR =1.80 [95%CI:1.45,2.23]) than infants born to Colombian women. There were no differences in Apgar scores. Most Venezuelan refugee women had no health insurance, and number of prenatal visits was half that of Colombian women. Pregnant Venezuelan refugee women face health care barriers and have worse birth outcomes than Colombian women, highlighting the need to further address health care and other socioeconomic barriers for this vulnerable population.
