The role of reported primary race on health measures for multiple race respondents in the National Health Interview Survey.

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
objectivesAs data for multiple race groups have only recently been collected and tabulated, the current understanding of the health of multiple race groups is not well developed. In the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), survey respondents who report more than one race are asked to identify a primary race. This report compares selected health and demographic measures by the response to the primary race question and compares estimates for specific primary race groups to corresponding estimates for single race groups.
methodsUsing 1997-2003 NHIS data, several demographic and health measures were compared by reported primary race within the four largest multiple race groups. Then estimates by primary race for these four multiple race groups were compared to those for their single race counterparts.
resultsThere were few statistically significant associations between reported primary race and health or demographic variables within the four multiple race groups. This lack of association may be due to the small number of multiple race respondents (which results in large standard errors) rather than similarity of point estimates among the subgroups. A greater number of differences between estimates for single race groups and for multiple race respondents who reported the same single race as their primary race were identified.
conclusionsThe apparent lack of association between primary race within a multiple race group and health outcomes suggests that tabulating multiple race responses by primary race is unnecessary for valid health estimates for multiple race groups, at least with available statistical power. However, differences between single race and primary race estimates within a multiple race group suggest that inferences for multiple race respondents using single race estimates may be imprecise for some outcomes.
