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

The US is facing a maternal mortality crisis with prominent disparities observed among racial/ethnic minority groups. In New York City (NYC), Black women are six times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes and have higher rates of severe maternal morbidity (SMM) compared to White women. The underlying drivers of adverse perinatal and maternal health outcomes are characterized by systemic, community, and individual level determinants. Given the complex interplay of factors involved, it underscores the need for a unique and tailored approach to address maternal health disparities. Here we will discuss our approach to implementing a transformational model of community engagement by establishing an equitable community-academic partnership aimed at identifying and addressing the underlying drivers of adverse maternal health outcomes in Central Brooklyn, NY. Guided by the tenets of the CDC's principle of community engagement and evaluated by the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) Assessing Meaningful Community Engagement (ACE) conceptual model, our community-centered approach culminated in the establishment of a sustainable women's health community advisory board (CAB) committed to improving maternal and women's health, and serves as a successful case study that can be modeled in other similar urban settings.
