Time Trends in Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Asthma Prevalence in the United States From the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) Study (1999-2011).
Article in American journal of public health, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 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
objectivesWe examined whether racial/ethnic disparities in the United States increased over time.
methodsWe analyzed data from 3 868 956 adults across the United States from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System from 1999 to 2011. We used random intercepts models (individuals nested in states) to examine racial/ethnic disparities and time trends in asthma lifetime and its current prevalence, adjusted for covariates. We also investigated the heterogeneity in asthma prevalence by ethnicity of the major zone of residence.
resultsLifetime and current asthma prevalence were higher among non-Hispanic Black populations, with time trends highlighting increasing differences over time (b = 0.0078; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.0043, 0.0106). Lower odds ratios (ORs) of asthma were noted for Hispanic populations (OR = 0.74; 95% CI = 0.73, 0.76). Hispanics in states with more Puerto Rican residents reported greater risks of asthma (OR = 1.55; 95% CI = 1.24, 1.93) compared with Hispanics in states with larger numbers of Mexican or other ethnicities.
conclusionsDisparities in asthma prevalence by racial/ethnic groups increased in the last decade, with non-Hispanic Blacks and Puerto Rican Hispanics at greater risk. Interventions targeting asthma treatments need to recognize racial, ethnic, and geographic disparities.
