Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Disability Prevalence.
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 36 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
purposeWorldwide, the number of disabled individuals is used as a marker for population health status because of high morbidity and mortality burden associated with disability. The primary objective of the current study is to use the 2012 NHIS disability supplement and examine racial/ethnic disparities in disability after controlling for a comprehensive list of factors, using the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (WHO-ICF).
methodsA retrospective cross-sectional study design with data from 7993 individuals aged above 21 years from the 2012 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) was adopted. Disability was defined based on a standard set of questions related to mobility, self-care, and cognition from the "Functioning and Disability" supplement of 2012 NHIS. Chi-squared tests and multinomial logistic regressions were conducted to examine the association between race/ethnicity and disability.
resultsThere were statistically significant racial/ethnic differences in disability status; 10.2 % non-Hispanic whites, 14.8 % non-Hispanic African Americans, 8.1 % Latino, and 6.7 % other racial minorities had severe disability. Non-Hispanic African Americans were more likely to have severe disability than were non-Hispanic whites (OR = 1.56, 95 % CI = 1.24, 1.95), and Latinos were less likely to have severe disability (OR = 0.70, 95 % CI = 0.55, 0.90) in the unadjusted model. There was no difference in disability status among non-Hispanic African Americans and non-Hispanic whites after adjusting for socio-economic status.
conclusionThe study findings highlighted the role of socio-economic characteristics in reducing disparities in disability between non-Hispanic African Americans and non-Hispanic whites. As SES can affect health through a complex interaction of biological, psychological, lifestyle, environmental, social, and neighborhood factors, a multipronged approach that focuses on primary, secondary, and territory prevention of disability is needed.
