Social Factors Associated with Sudden Unexpected Infant Death.
Article in Academic pediatrics. 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
objectivesTo characterize social factors associated with sudden unexpected infant death (SUID), we examined distribution of social factors across infant race, ethnicity, cause of death (medical, injury-related, unknown) and investigator-derived death grouping utilizing a multi-jurisdictional case registry.
methodsRetrospective analysis of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention SUID and Sudden Death in the Young Case Registry for infant deaths occurring 2015-2020, including child death review team-compiled clinical and investigative information.
resultsOf 2212 infants who experienced SUID, social factors including caregiver criminal history, substance use, and intimate partner violence were associated with lower odds of medical cause of death versus other causes. Over one-third (n = 226, 36%) of infants with injury-related deaths had caregivers with substance use concerns; caregiver substance use was common among SUID overall (n = 753, 34%). Utilizing an investigator-derived schema, both injury-related deaths and undetermined deaths were grouped together and social factors compared across that cohort versus deaths from medical causes; no statistically significant differences in social factors were identified across groups.
conclusionUtilizing a multi-jurisdictional registry, relationships between social factors and cause of death among infants experiencing SUID were identified; social factors (caregiver criminal history, substance use, intimate partner violence) were associated with lower odds of medical cause of death versus other causes. Distribution of social factors among infants experiencing SUID may contribute to emerging disparities and requires further study; efforts are needed to improve social factor data quality. SUID prevention efforts should address impact of social factors on fatality vulnerability and advocacy for social policy change.
