Patterns of chronic conditions in older adults: exploratory spatial findings from the ElderSmile program.
Article in American journal of preventive medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundThe increasing prevalence of primary care-sensitive conditions, notably diabetes and hypertension, among older adults presents a challenge to the public health community. Systems science conceptualizations of health, along with considerations of the social and environmental context in which older adults live, are needed before effective interventions can be designed and implemented. PURPOSE: To examine whether spatial patterns exist in hemoglobin A1c and blood pressure measurements among participants in ElderSmile, a community-based oral health and primary care screening program.
methodsTwo spatial statistical methods, global Moran's I and Cuzick-Edwards tests, were used to determine if there were significant spatial patterns among ElderSmile participants residing in northern Manhattan during 2010-2012. The analyses were conducted in 2013.
resultsSignificant spatial patterns of hemoglobin A1c values and potential diabetes cases, and possibly blood pressure measurements, were found among ElderSmile participants residing in northern Manhattan.
conclusionsThe presence of spatial patterns allows for the identification of subpopulations in need of additional resources, and can assist in informing advanced spatial and statistical analyses. Screening data collected from an ongoing community-based program can be used to understand broader patterns of urban health.
