1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundTo examine influence of language preference-English versus Spanish-on Hispanics' perceptions of their healthcare providers' communication behaviors.

methodsUsing the 2005 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS), we observed non-institutionalized Hispanics (n = 5197; US population estimate = 27,070,906), aged >or=18 years, reporting visiting a healthcare provider within the past 12 months.

resultsWhen compared to Spanish responders (reference group), English responders were more likely to report that their healthcare provider "always" listened to them carefully (adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 1.39, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.09-1.78), "always" explained things so that they understood (adjusted OR 1.37, 95% CI 1.08-1.73), "always" spent enough time with them (adjusted OR = 1.62, 95% CI 1.24-2.11),"always" asked them to help make decisions (adjusted OR 1.37, 95% CI 1.03-1.82), and "always" showed respect for treatment decisions (adjusted OR = 1.66, 95% CI 1.27-2.19). DISCUSSION: Healthcare providers should consider the complex needs of Hispanic patients whose language of choice is not English.
