Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome Is Associated With Infant Foster Care Entry At The County Level.
Article in Health affairs (Project Hope), 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
Although the number of infants diagnosed with neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS) and the number of infants entering foster care have increased substantially in the US since 2009, analyses exploring their relationship are lacking. Using data from 580 US counties in eight US states from the period 2009-17, we examined the association of county rates of NOWS and county-level characteristics with infant foster care entries. In adjusted analyses, every one diagnosis of NOWS per ten births was associated with a 41 percent higher rate of infant foster care entry, and rural county residence was associated with a 19 percent higher rate of infant foster entry. A higher employment rate was associated with lower rates of infant foster care entry both overall and in urban counties when we stratified by rurality. These findings suggest that policy makers could use information about county characteristics to better target funding to support opioid-affected families at risk for foster care involvement.
