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

Background: Residential mobility during pregnancy and between births is common and can introduce exposure misclassification. It may also reflect broader sociodemographic and environmental inequalities that influence maternal and child health. The objective of this study is to evaluate associations between maternal sociodemographic characteristics, PM Methods: Data were obtained from 155,270 mothers with matched sibling birth records from the Massachusetts Pregnancy to Early Life Longitudinal data system (2001-2009). We define residential mobility as a change in geocoded birth addresses and identified relocation to a lower-income census tract among movers. PM Results: Among mothers with linked births, 49.3% moved between births, and 19.9% relocated to a census tract with a lower median income. Mothers that moved between births had significantly lower PM Conclusion: Environmental and sociodemographic factors shape residential mobility patterns between births. It is important to account for residential mobility to reduce exposure misclassification and improve accuracy in perinatal epidemiology.
