Mapping of Pediatric COVID-19 Cases in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties: an Analysis of Sociodemographic Disparities.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundNumerous studies have shown a disproportionate impact of COVID-19 infection on Black and Hispanic Americans in the adult patient population. However, few studies have been done with pediatric populations. The aim of this study is to identify the prevalence and distribution of COVID-19 cases among pediatric patients in Miami-Dade and Broward counties and identify any sociodemographic disparities.
methodsA total of 10,087 children/adolescents ages zero years-old to 20 years-old were tested from July 1, 2020, to December 31, 2020. ArcGIS was used to map cases and obtain sociodemographic data. SPSS software was used to determine significance of data trends and create a predictive model.
resultsThere were 1,161 pediatric COVID-19 cases detected. White Hispanics and Black Hispanics had statically significantly higher cases when compared to White non-Hispanics and Black non-Hispanics. Percentage of households on food stamps, percentage of households below the poverty line, percentage of minority populations, and percentage of Hispanic population showed a positive correlation with detected pediatric COVID-19 cases. Alternatively, areas with higher median household incomes and higher educational status were negatively correlated with COVID-19. Percentage of Hispanic population and percentage of households below the poverty line were predictive of pediatric COVID-19 cases.
conclusionThere was a disproportionate impact of pediatric COVID-19 infection on zip codes of lower socioeconomic status and increased racial/ethnic minority populations. This study demonstrates the need for public health policies that prioritize testing children/adolescents in these communities.
