Characteristics Associated with Sudden Unexpected Infant Death in a Rural Hispanic Population: A Case-Control Study.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2025. 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
introductionSudden unexpected infant death (SUID) is the leading cause of death among U.S. infants aged 28 days to 1 year. In Kansas, Hispanic infant mortality is nearly 50% higher than non-Hispanic White. Further, the SUID rate did not change between 2005-2018, while rates for non-Hispanic Black and White infants decreased significantly. This study sought to identify characteristics and behaviors of Hispanic birthing persons related to SUID.
methodsLinked Kansas birth/death vital statistics data (2005-2018) identified Hispanic birthing persons with a singleton birth who experienced SUID. To reduce confounding effects, greedy nearest neighbor matching paired each SUID case sequentially with the four nearest controls based on age, race, payor source and parity. Matching procedures, likelihood-ratio χ2, Fisher exact test and multiple logistic regression model with Firth's penalized maximum likelihood estimation were computed.
resultsOf 86,052 Hispanic singleton births, 66 involved SUID and were matched with 264 controls. No differences were related to marital status, population density of residence, education level, language spoken, prenatal BMI, weight gained during pregnancy, adequacy of prenatal care, enrollment in WIC, or state immunization registry participation (all p>0.05). However, tobacco use during pregnancy contributed to a three times greater risk of SUID (OR=3.208; 95% CI=1.438 to 7.154). Multivariable models for behavioral variables revealed low predictive accuracy with area under the ROC curve=0.6303.
conclusionThis study suggests SUID deaths to rural Hispanic families are likely multifaceted. Study results inform educational programs on the importance of addressing tobacco cessation in SUID risk reduction interventions for Hispanic families.
