Construction of the Ohio Children's Opportunity Index.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Objective: To describe the development of an area-level measure of children's opportunity, the Ohio Children's Opportunity Index (OCOI). Data Sources/Study Setting: Secondary data were collected from US census based-American Community Survey (ACS), US Environmental Protection Agency, US Housing and Urban Development, Ohio Vital Statistics, US Department of Agriculture-Economic Research Service, Ohio State University Center for Urban and Regional Analysis, Ohio Incident Based Reporting System, IPUMS National Historical Geographic Information System, and Ohio Department of Medicaid. Data were aggregated to census tracts across two time periods. Study Design: OCOI domains were selected based on existing literature, which included family stability, infant health, children's health, access, education, housing, environment, and criminal justice domains. The composite index was developed using an equal weighting approach. Validation analyses were conducted between OCOI and health and race-related outcomes, and a national index. Principal Findings: Composite OCOI scores ranged from 0-100 with an average value of 74.82 (SD, 17.00). Census tracts in the major metropolitan cities across Ohio represented 76% of the total census tracts in the least advantaged OCOI septile. OCOI served as a significant predictor of health and race-related outcomes. Specifically, the average life expectancy at birth of children born in the most advantaged septile was approximately 9 years more than those born in least advantaged septile. Increases in OCOI were associated with decreases in proportion of Black (48 points lower in the most advantaged vs. least advantaged septile), Conclusion: As the first opportunity index developed for children in Ohio, the OCOI is a valuable resource for policy reform, especially related to health disparities and health equity. Health care providers will be able to use it to obtain holistic views on their patients and implement interventions that can tackle barriers to childhood development using a more tailored approach.
