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

Objectives: Safe Sleep Community Baby Showers (CBS) provide group education to reduce risk factors of sudden unexpected infant death (SUID). Based on CBS success, Safe Sleep Crib Clinics were developed to provide individual education. This study assessed Crib Clinic outcomes and differences in Crib Clinics compared to CBSs. Methods: Certified Safe Sleep Instructors facilitated CBSs and/or Crib Clinics in their communities and collected participant data related to safe sleep, tobacco avoidance and breastfeeding. Crib Clinic data was compared pre- to post-test; post-test results were compared between Crib Clinics and CBSs. Results: Crib Clinic attendees exhibited significant increases in intention to have infant follow safe sleep recommendations, avoid secondhand smoke and breastfeed (all Conclusions: Overall Crib Clinics appear to be effective in increasing knowledge, intentions and confidence related to safe sleep, tobacco avoidance and breastfeeding. Crib Clinics may offer flexibility (e.g., time, format) that increases accessibility to safe sleep education for families. Innovation: Results suggest the ability to shift education delivery method based on group size was important in both rural and urban settings.
