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

Escalating political turmoil and violence in Haiti since 2021, coupled with United States (US) immigration policy changes in early 2023, have led to an influx of Haitian immigrants to the US. Scattered reports suggest that recent immigrants from Haiti have a high burden of medical and social needs. To better understand their health risks and social needs, we analyzed survey data from 35 Haitian-born, US-based postpartum individuals on topics related to pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, and postpartum health. We calculated frequencies and odds ratios, and compared responses stratified by immigration year (before versus during/after 2021). Among the more recent immigrants, we identified a higher prevalence of hypertension in pregnancy (9/15, 60% versus 4/17, 24%; odds ratio 3.3 (95% confidence interval, 1.0-18.9)) and postpartum financial concerns (7/15, 47% versus 2/17, 12%; odds ratio 5.1 (1.3-46.3)). Our findings suggest that recent immigrants from Haiti may be at increased risk for adverse pregnancy and postpartum outcomes.
