The effect of race-ethnicity and geography on adoption of innovations in the treatment of schizophrenia.
Article in Psychiatric services (Washington, D.C.), 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectiveThis study evaluated the effect of race-ethnicity and geography on the adoption of a pharmacological innovation (long-acting injectable risperidone [LAIR]) among Medicaid beneficiaries with schizophrenia as well as the contribution of geographic location to observed racial-ethnic disparities.
methodsThe data source was a claims data set from the Florida Medicaid program for the 2.5-year period that followed the launch of LAIR in the U.S. market. Study participants were beneficiaries with schizophrenia who had filled at least one antipsychotic prescription during the study period. The outcome variable was any use of LAIR; model variables were need indicators and random effects for 11 Medicaid areas, which are multicounty units used by the Medicaid program to administer benefits. Adjusted probability of use of LAIR for blacks and Latinos versus whites was estimated with logistic regression models.
resultsThe study cohort included 13,992 Medicaid beneficiaries: 25% of the cohort was black, 37% Latino, and 38% white. Unadjusted probability of LAIR use was lower for Latinos than whites, and use varied across the state's geographic areas. Adjustment for need confirmed the unadjusted finding of a disparity between Latinos and whites (odds ratio=.58, 95% confidence interval=.49-.70). The inclusion of geographic location in the model eliminated the Latino-white disparity but confirmed the unadjusted finding of geographic variation in adoption.
conclusionsWithin a state Medicaid program, the initial finding of a disparity between Latinos and whites in adopting LAIR was driven by geographic disparities in adoption rates and the geographic concentration of Latinos in a low-adoption area. Possible contributors and implications of these results are discussed.
