Child Opportunity Index Influences Pediatric Pulmonary Hypertension Outcomes: Analyses From the Pediatric Health Information System.
Article in JACC. Advances, 2026. 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
backgroundSocial determinants of health (SDoH) in pediatric pulmonary hypertension (PH) outcomes are inadequately characterized.
objectivesThe authors examined associations between SDoH and pediatric PH outcomes.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study utilizes the Pediatric Health Information System (47 children's hospitals). All pediatric PH patients with encounters from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2022, were identified using International Classification of Diseases-10 codes. Demographics, therapeutics, and outcomes were compared according to SDoH including Child Opportunity Index (COI 3.0), race/ethnicity, insurance status, urbanicity, and home-to-hospital distance. Associations between SDoH and mortality were modeled, with each SDoH analyzed separately with clinical variables.
resultsOf 24,321 pediatric PH patients, 1,702 (7.0%) died. The median age at first admission was 1 year (IQR: 0, 5) with PH groups of pulmonary arterial hypertension (n = 11,296, 46.4%), left heart disease (n = 2,332, 9.6%), lung disease (9,165, 37.7%), thromboembolic (n = 180, 0.7%), and other (n = 1,348, 5.5%). No difference in the therapy use was observed by COI. Unadjusted mortality differed by COI quintile, with the highest proportion of deaths in very low (8.5%) vs very high (6.1%, P < 0.001). Mortality was higher for patients with public insurance, Black/African American race and those living further from hospital. In multivariable models adjusting for baseline unmodifiable factors and condition severity/therapy use, patients from the very high COI quintile had significantly lower odds of mortality vs very low quintile (adjusted OR: 0.78; 95% CI: 0.67-0.90; P < 0.001).
conclusionsIn this study of pediatric PH outcomes by SDoH at U.S. children's hospitals, lower COI, Black/African American race, public insurance, and greater home-to-hospital distance were associated with higher mortality.
