The risk of sleep-related death in an inclined sleep environment.
Article in BMC public health, 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
backgroundUnsafe sleep environments are the primary modifiable risk factor for sudden unexpected infant death (SUID). Despite this knowledge, products that deviate from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) safe sleep recommendations continue to be commonplace, such as inclined sleepers. Analyses to estimate risk among these products are lacking, perpetuating their presence in the marketplace. We present a method of comparing risk of SUID in an inclined sleeper to an AAP-recommended sleep environment.
methodsA case-control analysis using publicly available and previously published survey data was conducted for SUID events occurring between January 1, 2018 and April 12, 2019 (the date of the first inclined sleeper recall). SUID deaths were categorized as occurring in an AAP-recommended sleep environments or in an inclined sleeper. Exposure Odds Ratios (OR) are reported as the risk of SUID among infants using inclined sleepers relative to an AAP-recommended sleep environment.
resultsDuring the study period, 4,900,573 births and 4,363 SUID deaths occurred in the US. Control characteristics were similar between previous night users of an AAP-recommended sleep environment (24%) and inclined sleepers (3.8%). Inclined sleepers were associated with a 5-fold (OR: 5.1; 95% CI: 3.2, 7.9) increased risk of SUID among infants < 12 months compared to infants in an AAP-recommended sleep environment. This risk was greatest among infants ≥ 4 months (RR: 10.4; 95% CI: 5.1, 21.5).
conclusionsThis novel analysis fills a longstanding gap in risk assessments of inclined infant sleep products. More timely risk analyses may improve the safety of the marketplace.
