Community Bias and Black Child and Maternal Health: Leveraging National Data to Assess Links.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 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
objectivesThis study explores the association between community racial bias, or the aggregate racial biases held by individuals within a community, and physical health among young Black children and their mothers.
methodsData on child and maternal health were drawn from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort (ECLS-B; N ~ 1650), following children and their mothers from infancy through preschool. Data on community racial bias were drawn from Project Implicit, a research project that administers online surveys of social cognition nationally. Community contextual data were drawn from national administrative data sources including the 2000 Decennial Census, the Economic Census and Business Patterns, and the National Center for Education Statistics. Community data were linked to mother/child dyads in the ECLS-B. Logistic and Poisson regressions estimated associations between community racial bias and child and maternal health across the first 4 years of children's lives.
resultsAssociations with children's poor general health (odds ratio [OR] 1.85, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01-3.38) in toddlerhood and poor health conditions in infancy (1.51, 1.05-2.16), toddlerhood (2.09, 1.37-3.18), and preschool (1.77, 1.13-2.76) emerged. Results showed associations between community racial bias and maternal poor general health during their child's infancy (2.72, 1.25-5.91), toddlerhood (3.85, 1.68-8.81), and preschool years (2.96, 1.45-6.02). Associations remained after accounting for individual, family, and neighborhood covariates.
conclusionThese findings underscore the need for research and policy efforts to understand and address racism in community settings.
