The characteristics of racial disparity in retinopathy of prematurity outcomes.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo characterize racial disparities in retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) requiring treatment and to investigate specific treatment patterns across racial groups. STUDY
designRetrospective analysis of de-identified data from ROP Check®, a cloud-based electronic medical record system for neonatology screening and ophthalmology tracking ROP examinations and treatment. Data from 28 hospitals from 2011 to 2022 included 3631 surviving premature infants with recorded race.
resultsAmerican Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN), Asian, and Pacific Islander (PI) infants had the highest rates of ROP treatment at both early (21-25 weeks) and later gestational ages (26-30 weeks) while African American infants had the lowest and most pronounced at later gestational ages (26-30 weeks). AI/AN infants had earlier and more multiple treatments.
conclusionsOur study identifies PI race, alongside AI/AN and Asian backgrounds, as high-risk categories for treatment-warranted ROP. The inclusion of race to gestational age and birthweight enhances the prediction of treatment-warranted ROP.
