Socioeconomic Characteristics Are Major Contributors to Ethnic Differences in Health Status in Obstructive Lung Disease: An Analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007-2010.
Article in Chest, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 13 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
backgroundUnderstanding ethnic differences in health status (HS) could help in designing culturally appropriate interventions. We hypothesized that racial and ethnic differences exist in HS between non-Hispanic whites and Mexican Americans with obstructive lung disease (OLD) and that these differences are mediated by socioeconomic factors.
methodsWe analyzed 826 US adults aged ≥ 30 years self-identified as Mexican American or non-Hispanic white with spirometry-confirmed OLD (FEV₁/FVC < 0.7) who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007-2010. We assessed associations between Mexican American ethnicity and self-reported HS using logistic regression models adjusted for demographics, smoking status, number of comorbidities, limitations for work, and lung function and tested the contribution of education and health-care access to ethnic differences in HS.
resultsAmong Mexican Americans with OLD, worse (fair or poor) HS was more prevalent than among non-Hispanic whites (weighted percentage [SE], 46.6% [5.0] vs 15.2% [1.6]; P < .001). In bivariate analysis, socioeconomic characteristics were associated with lower odds of reporting poor HS (high school graduation: OR, 0.24 [95% CI, 0.10-0.40]; access to health care: OR, 0.50 [95% CI, 0.30-0.80]). In fully adjusted models, a strong association was found between Mexican American ethnicity (vs non-Hispanic white) and fair or poor HS (OR, 7.52; 95% CI, 4.43-12.78; P < .001). Higher education and access to health care contributed to lowering the Mexican American ethnicity odds of fair or poor HS by 47% and 16%, respectively, and together, they contributed 55% to reducing the differences in HS with non-Hispanic whites.
conclusionsMexican Americans with OLD report poorer overall HS than non-Hispanic whites, and education and access to health care are large contributors to the difference.
