Where you live matters: Township neighborhood factors important to resilience among south African children from birth to 5 years of age.
Trial report in Preventive medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00996528 (Neighborhood Alcohol & HIV Prevention in South African Townships), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 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.

Abstract
objectiveThis is a secondary analysis examining neighborhood factors predicting high rates of child resilience in South African Township neighborhoods.
methodsA population cohort of South African pregnant women (98%; n = 1238), were recruited and assessed across five years with high follow-up rates (83-96%). Resilient children were identified based on consistently meeting global standards for growth, cognitive functioning, and behavior. Community infrastructure, maternal risks, and caretaking behaviors were examined based on neighborhood as predictors of childhood resilience.
resultsThe rate of resilient children varied significantly by neighborhood (9.5% to 27%). Mothers living in high prevalence neighborhoods (HPN) compared to low prevalence neighborhoods (LPN) were older and more likely be living with three or more people in formal housing with access to water and electricity. In the HPN, resilient children had more food security and were less likely to have mothers with depressed mood. Migration to rural areas occurred more frequently among resilient compared to non-resilient children in the HPN.
conclusionThis study applies a novel measure of resilience that is multidimensional and longitudinally defined. Living in formal housing with consistent access to food was associated with resilience. Migration to rural areas among families living in HPN suggests that rural areas could be protective.
