Are There Disparities in Thrombolytic Treatment and Mortality in Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Hispanic Population Living in Border States versus Nonborder States?
Article in Journal of vascular and interventional neurology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundRecent studies have found an underutilization of hospital in-patient care for coronary artery disease in Hispanics living in border states.
objectiveTo identify acute treatment disparities in acute ischemic stroke Hispanic patients and determine the effect of such disparity on patient outcomes.
methodsWe identified Hispanic and non-Hispanic acute ischemic stroke patients from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample-2011 data files. We determined the rate of utilization of thrombolytics and outcomes according to patient's demographic and clinical characteristics and whether or not they lived in a border state (defined as California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas).
resultsA total of 34,904 Hispanic patients were admitted with ischemic stroke; of those 21,130 were admitted in border states and 13,774 in nonborder states. There was a significantly lower rate of thrombolytic use in Hispanic patients (1013 (4.8%) and non-Hispanics (5326 (5.7%,
conclusionsThere was an underutilization of thrombolytics and higher mortality in the Hispanic population admitted in border states but not in nonborder states. Further studies are warranted to better understand the associated factors.
