1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 assess changes in mental health and social risk factors in pregnant women in counties affected by Hurricane Michael (October 2018).

methodsData from the Universal Perinatal Risk Screen (UPRS) and vital statistics for the state of Florida were obtained. Prenatal risk factors (unplanned pregnancy, mental health services, high stress, use of tobacco or alcohol, young children at home or with special needs, trouble paying bills) were compared in the year before and year after Hurricane Michael in affected counties (n = 18,887). Log-Poisson regression with robust variance was used for binary outcomes, adjusting for maternal age, race, BMI, and education.

resultsA smaller proportion of pregnant women were screened in the months after the hurricane. No changes were seen in overall scores. The proportion referred was lower in the 1 month after Michael compared to that in 1 month before Michael (RR 0.78, 95% CI = 0.71, 0.86), but greater in the year after (RR = 1.07, 95% CI: 1.04, 1.10). Most individual risk factors on the screener did not change significantly, except having an illness that required ongoing medical care was less common in the short term (3 months after vs. 3 months before: aRR = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.66, 0.87), and more common in the longer term (1 year after vs. 1 year before, aRR = 1.09, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.18). Birth certificate data suggested smoking during pregnancy was higher among women who experienced Michael during their pregnancies (aRR = 1.15, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.32). DISCUSSION: Perinatal screening and referral declined in the short-term aftermath of Hurricane Michael.
