Understanding Pathways to Usual Source of Care among Asian Americans.
Article in Journal of health care for the poor and underserved, 2016. 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
Although the prevailing conceptual model for health care access is the Andersen Behavioral Model of Health Service Use, researchers have not evaluated empirically whether model pathways are appropriate for Asian Americans (AAs). Using path analysis with 2009 California Health Interview Survey data, we tested pathways among predisposing, enabling, and need factors and acculturation factors for having a usual source of care (USC) among AA adults. Pathway differences among ethnic subgroups (Chinese, Koreans, and Vietnamese) were also examined. The model adequately predicted USC among AAs. As expected, insurance was the key predictor but higher education levels were associated with lower income and lower income with having a USC. English proficiency also contributed significantly to the AA model. Ethnic subgroup models varied significantly. Findings suggest that the Andersen behavioral model is appropriate for studying USC among AAs though pathways vary by ethnicity. Pathways for education and English proficiency must be better understood.
