Sudden Infant Death Syndrome: Risk Factors and Newer Risk Reduction Strategies.
Review in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) continues to be one of the top causes of infant death in the U.S. Despite significant public health initiatives focused on high-risk populations to enhance sleep environments and techniques. The SIDS rate has remained stable in recent years. Risk factors and newer risk reduction strategies for SIDS are the focus of this review article. We conducted a comprehensive literature search on Medline, Cochrane, Embase, and Google Scholar until July 2022. The following search strings and Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) terms were used: "SIDS," "Sudden Infant Death" and "SUID". We explored the literature on SIDS for its epidemiology, pathophysiology, the role of various etiologies and their influence, associated complications leading to SIDS, and preventive and treatment modalities. Despite a more than 50% drop-in rates since the start of the "Back to Sleep" campaign in 1994, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) continues to be the top cause of post-neonatal mortality in the United States, despite continued educational initiatives that support safe sleep and other risk reduction strategies. The new American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines for lowering the risk of SIDS include a lot of emphasis on sleeping habits, bedding, and environment but also include elements that are frequently ignored (i.e., prenatal care, smoking, alcohol and drug use, and childhood vaccinations). This study highlights these less-frequently discussed aspects and identifies treatments that have produced beneficial behavioral shifts that benefit newborns as well as their mothers' health and wellbeing.
