To the Editor A publication in JAMA Pediatrics¹ has a technical issue that has unfortunately become too common in biomedical journals: the failure to present both adjusted and unadjusted results.

In the case of this particular data set, being able to view the unadjusted results assumes even greater importance because most of the numerous adjustment factors are not specified in the current publication nor in a prior publication of the authors cited by them. Adjusting for “indicators for 50 states”¹ (Table 1 footnotes) is an unacceptably vague descriptor for a scientific publication. In an ideal world, the reader would be given enough information to ascertain the specific adjustment factors that had the most impact in modifying the outcome.

致编辑JAMA Pediatrics ¹上的出版物存在一个技术问题，不幸的是，该问题在生物医学期刊中变得太普遍了：无法同时显示调整后的结果和未调整的结果。

在此特定数据集的情况下，能够查看未经调整的结果显得尤为重要，因为许多调整因子中的大多数都未在当前出版物中或在他们引用的作者的先前出版物中指定。调整“ 50个州的指标” ¹（表1脚注）对于科学出版物来说是模糊的描述。在理想的情况下，将为读者提供足够的信息，以确定对修改结果影响最大的特定调整因素。
