Place-Based Opportunity and Well Child Visit Attendance in Early Childhood.
Article in Academic pediatrics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundLower neighborhood opportunity, measured by the Child Opportunity Index [COI], is associated with increased pediatric morbidity, but is less frequently used to examine longitudinal well child care. We aimed to evaluate associations between the COI and well child visit [WCV] attendance from birth - <36 months of age.
methodsThe Upstate KIDS population-based birth cohort includes children born 2008-2010 in New York state. The exposure, 2010 census tract COI (very low [VL] to very high [VH]), was linked to children's geocoded residential address at birth. The outcome was attended WCVs from birth - <36 months of age. Parents reported WCVs and their child's corresponding age on questionnaires every 4-6 months. These data were applied to appropriate age ranges for recommended WCVs to determine attendance. Associations were modeled longitudinally as odds of attending visits and as mean differences in proportions of WCVs by COI.
resultsAmong 4650 children, 21% (n = 977) experienced VL or low COI. Children experiencing VL (adjusted OR [aOR] 0.68, 95% CI 0.61, 0.76), low (aOR 0.81, 95% CI 0.73, 0.90), and moderate COI (aOR 0.88, 95% CI 0.81, 0.96), compared to VH COI, had decreased odds of attending any WCV. The estimated, adjusted mean proportions of WCV attendance were lower among children experiencing VL (0.45, P < .01), low (0.53, P = .02), moderate (0.53, P = .05), and high (0.54, P = .03) compared to VH COI (0.56).
conclusionsLower COI at birth was associated with decreased WCV attendance throughout early childhood. Reducing barriers to health care access for children experiencing lower COI may advance equitable well child care.
