US Mortality: Influence of Race, Geography and Cardiovascular Risk Among Participants in the Population-Based REGARDS Cohort.
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 20 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 evaluated whether differences in cardiovascular risk factors, as assessed by the Framingham risk scores for stroke and cardiovascular disease (FSRS and FCRS), contributed to disparities in all-cause mortality across race and regional strata of USA.
designRace-region-specific FSRS and FCRS scores were computed for 30,086 REGARDS participants who were recruited between January 2003 and October 2007. They were divided across six regions of the "Eight Americas" and then compared after adjusting for race and sex. Kaplan-Meier curves and hazard ratios for all-cause mortality were estimated between regions, first adjusted for age and sex, and then for the risk scores.
resultsAfter adjustment for age, sex, FCRS, and FSRS, there was no difference in mortality among Middle-America Whites versus Low-Income White. However, mortality was lower among Middle-America Blacks (-23 %; p = 0.06) and High-Risk Urban Blacks (-24 %; p = 0.01) compared to Southern Low-Income Rural Blacks. Compared to Middle-American Whites, mortality was higher among Middle-America Blacks (+39 %; p < 0.001), High-Risk Urban Blacks (+35 %; p < 0.001) and Southern Low-Income Rural Blacks (+85 %; p < 0.001).
conclusionAccounting for cardiovascular risk unmasked a greater disparity in mortality between Blacks and Whites and among Southern Rural Blacks compared to Middle-America Blacks and High-Risk Urban Blacks.
