Social Capital and Pediatric Tracheostomy Outcomes.
Article in Laryngoscope investigative otolaryngology, 2025. 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
Objective: To determine pediatric tracheostomy outcomes by social capital as measured through economic connectedness (EC). Methods: A retrospective cohort of patients (< 18 years) who underwent tracheostomy at a tertiary pediatric hospital between 2009 and 2020 was divided into high and low socioeconomic status (SES) groups based on their neighborhood-level EC. This metric of social capital determines the degree to which an individual is connected to families of higher SES based on zip code. Regression analysis determined associations between EC and adverse outcomes, decannulation, and mortality. Results: A total of 527 patients were included, with 79 (15%) having higher EC and 448 (85%) having lower EC. The groups had similar medical complexity and comorbidities, and EC was found to correlate with other metrics of SES including poverty rate and area deprivation index (ADI) by zip code ( Conclusions: EC does not correlate with adverse outcomes, mortality, or decannulation for pediatric tracheostomy patients. These findings suggest that EC may not be the primary component of social capital that influences perioperative challenges and long-term outcomes for pediatric tracheostomies in this study population.
