Beyond income: material hardship and the health and healthcare of premature children.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
objectivesTo estimate national prevalence of household hardships (food insufficiency, financial hardship, and difficulty paying medical bills) among children born term and preterm; and examine associations of household hardships with preterm children's outcomes (health status, emergency room visits, and unmet healthcare needs).
methodsWe studied 24,026 children aged 0-3 years born term, preterm with moderately low birth weight (1501-2499 grams) and preterm with very low birth weight (VLBW; ≤1500 grams). Using propensity score matching to control for correlates of poverty, we examined associations of hardships and child outcomes.
resultsCompared with term, households with preterm VLBW children had >2-fold higher odds of financial hardship (aOR:2.63; 95% CI: 1.26-5.46) and >5-fold higher odds of difficulty paying bills (aOR:5.60; 95% CI: 2.35-10.35). Matching for sociodemographics, special healthcare needs, income and receipt of public benefits, hardships were independently associated with adverse preterm children's outcomes.
conclusionsAddressing household hardships is needed to optimize preterm child outcomes.
