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

BackgroundPregnant and postpartum incarcerated women are at risk of adverse health outcomes due to pre-incarceration risks and exposures during incarceration.ObjectivesThis study characterized maternal healthcare and neonatal outcomes among incarcerated pregnant women in Georgia from August 2020 to March 2025.DesignWe utilized a sequential mixed methods approach using data from a birth cohort of children exposed prenatally to incarceration in Georgia.MethodsWe analyzed qualitative data on maternal care experiences from 41 mothers and quantitative data on neonatal outcomes from caregivers of 84 children. Qualitative results informed exploratory tests of group differences for neonatal outcomes (i.e.,mode of delivery, neonatal complications, low birthweight) and breastfeeding initiation between (1) those who gave birth in the community compared to during incarceration; (2) those who were incarcerated in jail as compared to prisons.ResultsParticipants described low-quality maternal healthcare, inhumane treatment, and lack of safety and comfort, and the use of practices like solitary confinement and shackling. Fisher's exact tests were significant for differences in breastfeeding initiation between those who gave birth in the community compared to those who gave birth during incarceration (
