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

Research suggests that stress due to racism may underlie the disproportionately high rates of adverse pregnancy outcomes experienced by Black women in the US. Study objectives: (1) Identify forms of systemic racism affecting pregnancy outcomes and (2) increase understanding about the role of racism in adverse pregnancy outcomes for Black women. A systematic review was conducted to explore the relationship between systemic racism and pregnancy outcomes for Black women. Searches were performed using EBSCO Academic Search Complete, CINAHL Complete, and Consumer Health Complete first between January to April 2021 and subsequently between November 2023 to January 2024. Included studies were observational, written in English, had full-text availability, examined at least one form of systemic racism and pregnancy outcome, and reported results for Black women. A meta-analysis was performed using a random effects model, summary effect estimates were pooled by pregnancy outcome. The I
