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

objectivesTo explore inequities in prenatal consultation and parental resuscitation decisions across high-mortality conditions. STUDY

designWe conducted a retrospective chart review of pregnant people whose liveborn neonates were diagnosed with high-mortality conditions. We examined two cohorts: periviable infants (22 0/7-24 6/7 weeks) and infants with severe congenital anomalies.

resultsA total of 194 neonates met eligibility criteria for the periviable cohort, 197 for the congenital anomaly cohort. In the periviable cohort, 94% of White vs. 81% of Black pregnant people received neonatology consultation (p = 0.009). A total of 96% of those with commercial insurance vs. 82% of those with Medicaid received consultation (p = 0.005). Half of Hispanic pregnant people did not receive neonatology consultation (p = 0.02). In the congenital anomaly cohort, pregnant people who spoke a language other than English were less likely to receive consultation (44% vs. 81%, p = 0.02).

conclusionsThis regional assessment found previously unrecognized inequities in prenatal neonatology consultation.
