Effects of Maternal SARS-CoV-2 Infection on Neonatal Discharge Planning and Care: Exacerbation of Racial and Ethnic Healthcare Disparities.
Observational study in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 determine if SARS-CoV-2 disproportionately impacted infants born to racial and ethnic minorities and if virus exposure led to decreased access to care.
methodsThis study was an observational case-control study, between March 2020 and March 2022 in Portland, Maine. Forty-seven cases and 47 controls were enrolled. Cases were infants born to mothers diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 at delivery, and controls were infants matched by date of birth, born to SARS-CoV-2 negative women. Demographic data, maternal clinical data, infant outcomes, and infant discharge plans were compared using Chi squared or Fisher Exact tests. Logistic regression was used to examine the impact of race on neonatal SARS-CoV-2 exposure.
resultsInfants exposed to SARS-CoV-2 were more likely Black or Hispanic than White and Non-Hispanic early in the pandemic, with reversal during the second year. SARS-CoV-2-exposed infants experienced delays in routine newborn outpatient care, although delay improved over the pandemic.
conclusionInfants exposed to SARS-CoV-2 were initially more likely to be infants of color. During this time, infants exposed to SARS-CoV-2 were also experiencing significant delays in newborn care.
