Perceived access to health care and its influence on the prevalence of behavioral risks among urban African Americans.
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 12 papers.
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
introductionIndividuals who have difficulty gaining access to health care may delay seeking and obtaining treatment, underutilize preventive health care services, and may have a high prevalence of chronic disease risks. This report examines participant perception of the level of difficulty encountered when obtaining medical care and its influence on the prevalence of chronic disease behavioral risks among urban African Americans.
resultsWe found a significantly higher prevalence of current cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption among African Americans who reported that they experienced difficulty in obtaining medical care than among those who did not. Compared to those who experienced no difficulty obtaining care, participants who perceived a high level of difficulty in obtaining care were less likely to have had a physical exam in the past year and to have seen the same doctor when services were obtained.
conclusionThe perception of a high level of difficulty obtaining health care may be associated with a higher prevalence of behavioral risks for chronic disease. The limited data suggest a need to more closely examine the perception of health care accessibility and its relationship to health services utilization and the prevalence of chronic disease behavioral risks.
