Health Care Access, Utilization, and Management in Adult Chinese, Koreans, and Vietnamese with Cardiovascular Disease and Hypertension.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundAsians are often pooled together when evaluating disparities in health care indicators (access, utilization, and management), though substantial variation may exist across different Asian ethnicities.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to compare health care indicators among Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and non-Hispanic white (NHW) adults with cardiovascular disease and hypertension (CVD/HTN).
methodsWe analyzed health care indicators using multivariable logistic regression in a sample of Asians and NHWs with CVD/HTN from the 2011-2012 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS).
resultsKoreans had the lowest utilization of emergency room (ER) or inpatient hospital services; Vietnamese had the lowest access to a personal doctor; Chinese had the lowest adjusted odds of having seen a doctor in the prior 12 months; and all Asians received fewer written heart disease care plans compared to NHWs. Even when utilization of ER for heart disease appeared to be similar, lack of access to a doctor was a more common reason noted by Asians versus NHWs. However, a lower proportion of Asians reported delays in receiving prescription or care. Accounting for differences across groups did not diminish these disparities.
conclusionHealth care indicators varied by race and across Asian ethnicities even after controlling for sociodemographic factors, insurance coverage, and health status. Future studies should consider oversampling other Asian ethnicities and assessing more in depth the potential impact of ethnicity-related factors on disparities in health care indicators.
