Racial disparities in diabetes-related preventive care: results from the Missouri Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.
Article in Preventing chronic disease, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
introductionRacial disparities exist in the rates of diabetes complications in the United States and in the state of Missouri. It is unclear to what degree such disparities involve diabetes-related preventive care. We sought evidence for racial disparities in diabetes-related preventive care between non-Hispanic blacks and whites in Missouri.
methodsWe analyzed data from the Missouri Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System from 1994 through 2002. This state-specific survey is conducted annually among a representative sample of Missourians. We examined data from 842 Missourians who reported a diagnosis of type 1 or type 2 diabetes and who had consulted a health professional in the 12 months before they were interviewed. We analyzed reported receipt of glycosylated hemoglobin testing, foot examinations, and dilated eye examinations in the year before interview.
resultsNon-Hispanic blacks were significantly less likely than whites to report having had glycosylated hemoglobin testing (odds ratio [OR], 0.47; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.22-0.99) but more likely to report having received foot examinations (OR, 1.99; 95% CI, 1.21-2.39). There was no difference between blacks and whites in the probability of dilated eye examinations (OR, 1.49; 95% CI, 0.94-2.36).
conclusionCompared with whites, non-Hispanic blacks in Missouri receive adequate screening for diabetic complications but not for glycemic control. Further studies are needed to investigate whether these disparities are linked to differences in the rate of diabetes complications in Missouri.
