1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveWe compared neonatal (<28 days) mortality rates (NMRs) across disaggregated Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (AANHPI) groups using recent, national data. STUDY

designWe used 2015-2019 cohort-linked birth-infant death records from the National Vital Statistics System. Our sample included 61,703 neonatal deaths among 18,709,743 births across all racial and ethnic groups. We compared unadjusted NMRs across disaggregated AANHPI groups, then compared NMRs adjusting for maternal sociodemographic, maternal clinical, and neonatal risk factors.

resultsUnadjusted NMRs differed by over 3-fold amongst disaggregated AANHPI groups. Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander neonates in aggregate had the highest fully-adjusted odds of mortality (OR: 1.08 [95% CI: 0.89, 1.31]) compared to non-Hispanic White neonates. Filipino, Asian Indian, and Other Asian neonates experienced significant decreases in odds ratios after adjusting for neonatal risk factors.

conclusionAggregating AANHPI neonates masks large heterogeneity and undermines opportunities to provide targeted care to higher-risk groups.
