Perinatal outcomes among Indian-born mothers in Australia.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2023. 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
objectiveTo examine the incidence of adverse perinatal outcomes and the risk of adverse perinatal outcomes for Indian-born mothers compared to other mothers living and giving birth in Australia. DESIGN, SETTING AND
participantsThis retrospective cohort study was designed to investigate all births in Australia in 2012 and those in the Monash Health Birthing Outcomes System (BOS) 2014 to Indian-born mothers in Australia. Data sets were analysed involving descriptive statistics using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS vs. 23).
resultsIndian-born mothers in Australia are at increased risk of induced labour, emergency caesarean section, very preterm birth (20-27 weeks), babies with low to very low birth weight, and low Apgar score (0-2) at 5 min, gestational diabetes, hypothyroidism, iron deficiency anaemia and vitamin B12 deficiencies compared to other mothers giving birth in Australia. This is despite a range of protective factors (25-34 years, married, nonsmokers, and a BMI < 30) that would normally be expected to reduce the risk of adverse perinatal outcomes for mothers giving birth in a developed country.
conclusionIn the absence of many of the recognized maternal risk factors, Indian-born mothers continue to face increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes, despite access to high quality maternity care in Australia. Recommendations arising from this study include the need for an intervention study to identify maternal risk factors for Indian-born mothers in mid to late pregnancy that contribute to the risk for very preterm birth and low birth weight.
