Relationship between glaucoma and admixture in postmenopausal African American women.
Article in Ethnicity & disease, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveTo investigate the association between African admixture and glaucoma prevalence among African American women. DESIGN, SETTING,
participantsParticipants included 11616 African American women from the Women's Health Initiative Study (WHI) for whom admixture information was available and included 2548 who self-reported a diagnosis of glaucoma.
main outcome measuresGlaucoma.
resultsSignificant association was observed between self-identified glaucoma status and admixture. However, this association was not significant in a model that included neighborhood socioeconomic status (NSES), hypertension, diabetes and body mass index (BMI). Self-identified glaucoma status was associated with diabetes that persisted after adjustment for admixture, NSES, hypertension, and BMI. Lower NSES was also associated with higher glaucoma risk but this association was marginal in the fully adjusted model and neither hypertension nor BMI showed association. When glaucoma status was limited to those reporting use or no use of appropriate ophthalmologic medication, no associations were observed in any of the models.
conclusionThis study failed to find an independent association of glaucoma status and African admixture and these findings suggest that the higher frequency glaucoma in African Americans may be largely due to other factors.
