Patterns of Mortality for Children and Adolescents in Early 20th-Century Alaska.
Article in American journal of human biology : the official journal of the Human Biology Council, 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
objectivesOdds of death from specific causes in infants, children, and adolescents in Alaska have not been quantified with vital records. We analyze the odds of death from 12 causes in individuals ≤ 18 years.
methodsWe fit a multinomial logistic regression model (n = 12 904 death records) controlling for Indigeneity, age, sex, and year of death to predict the odds of specific causes of death.
resultsAlaska Native individuals were most likely to die from tuberculosis and respiratory infections, while non-Alaska Native individuals were most likely to die from early infant health problems and accidents/violence. Infectious diseases and nutritional and endocrine disorders were most likely in ages 0-5, while accidents/violence, cardiovascular issues, and tuberculosis were most likely in ages 10-18.
conclusionsProportionate mortality and odds of death differed significantly, reflecting the different structures of Alaska Native versus non-Alaska Native populations in the 20th century and reinforcing demographic observations in the historical record.
