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

objectiveTo assess racial and ethnic disparities in birth weight (BW), time to BW regain, and mean growth velocity during the accelerated weight gain phase. STUDY

designA retrospective study was conducted using a de-identified dataset from the Pediatrix Medical Group from 2010 to 2020. The dataset categorizes infants into five racial and ethnic groups: Asian, Hispanic, Black, White, and Other, based on maternal report. The study included infants born between 23 and 29 weeks' gestation and excluded infants without weight data.

resultsThis study included 76,145 infants. Antenatal confounders were balanced using inverse propensity weighting. Black infants had lowest, while Hispanic infants had higher BW z-scores, when compared to White infants. Black infants took the shortest time to regain BW. Hispanic infants had the lowest mean growth velocity.

conclusionRacial and ethnic disparities in postnatal growth of infants born before 30 weeks of gestation manifest differently across growth phases.
