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

objectiveRacial and ethnic disparities in healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) are well-documented among extremely and very preterm infants but remain understudied among more mature preterm populations. This study evaluated HCRU by race/ethnicity among moderate (32-33 weeks) and late preterm infants (34-36 weeks) with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS; defined as ICD-10-CM P22.0) at Kaiser Permanente Northern California (2019-2023). STUDY

designInfants (n = 1674) with RDS requiring >12 h of respiratory support were included. HCRU was evaluated during birth hospitalization [respiratory support, length of stay (LOS)] and one-year post-discharge [emergency department (ED) visits, hospitalization].

resultNo racial or ethnic differences were observed during hospitalization. Post-discharge, Black and Hispanic infants had higher risk of respiratory/infectious ED visits (Black, aOR=1.72 [95% CI = 1.05-2.81]; Hispanic, aOR=2.18 [95% CI = 1.56-3.06]; reference=White). Hispanic infants also had higher risks of respiratory/infectious hospitalizations (aOR=2.53 [95% CI = 1.11-5.78]).

conclusionWhile inpatient HCRU was similar across race/ethnicity, disparities emerged one-year post discharge, particularly in Black and Hispanic infants.
