Racial and geographic disparities in timing of bidirectional Glenn and Fontan stages of single-ventricle palliation.
Article in Journal of the National Medical Association, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveIn adults, race-based disparity in access to cardiovascular care has been documented. Racial differences in cardiac care for children have not been evaluated previously. METHODOLOGY: We analyzed timing of single-ventricle palliation as a function of race and geography at Duke University Medical Center (DUMC) from 1997-2000.
resultsAfrican American children underwent bidirectional Glenn (BDG) at a median age of 11 months (13.8 +/- 10.8, n = 11); white children at five months (5.6 +/- 2.3, n = 29), p = 0.01. African American children underwent Fontan at 60 months (106.8 +/- 84.0, n = 9); white children at 36 months (45.6 +/- 36.0, n = 18), p = 0.005.
conclusionsAfrican American children at DUMC underwent palliation at a later age and with more variability in age than did white children. Further investigation is needed to determine possible causes of these race-associated differences in health care delivery.
