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

There is limited information on the health status of South Asians. Our objective was to examine the delivery of clinical preventive services to South Asian adults. We used data from a 2001 mail survey to a nationwide sample of South Asians. We quantified the percentage of eligible adults who received screenings for colorectal cancer, cervical cancer, breast cancer, high blood pressure, lipid disorders, and vaccinations against influenza, pneumococcus, and tetanus. We also calculated the number of individuals who were up-to-date with all their recommended preventive healthcare. One-fourth of South Asians were up-to-date with their recommended preventive services, while more than half were not up-to-date with their services. Having a regular source of care was significantly associated with being up-to-date on recommended schedules. Despite their high level of education, the majority of South Asians in the US are not receiving the appropriate amount of preventive health services.
