Neighborhood social environment as risk factors to health behavior among African Americans: The Jackson Heart Study.
Article in Health & place, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundFew studies have focused on the impact of neighborhood social environment on changes in smoking and alcohol use over time among African Americans.
methodJackson Heart Study participants were recruited from the Jackson, MS metropolitan area from 2000 to 2004. Neighborhood social environment was characterized using census-based neighborhood socio-economic status (NSES) and survey-derived perceptions of neighborhood social cohesion, disorder, and violence. Multinomial logistic regression was used to estimate the associations of neighborhood social environment with prevalence of smoking and alcohol use and with changes in these behaviors over time adjusted for individual sociodemographic characteristics.
resultsParticipants (N=3166) resided in 108 census tracts. All neighborhood social environment variables were consistently associated with prevalence of current smoking at baseline (11%) and with persistence of smoking over a median of 8-years follow-up (8%). The odds of being a consistent smoker relative to never smoking was about 30% higher per 1SD higher neighborhood violence (aOR: 1.30, 95% CI: 1.16-1.46) and disorder (aOR: 1.26, 95% CI: 1.08 - 1.47) and at least 16% lower per 1SD higher in neighborhood social cohesion (aOR: 0.84, 95% CI: 0.74-0.95) and NSES (aOR: 0.79, 95% CI: 0.67-0.95). Heavy alcohol use at baseline (17%) and consistent heavy use over the study period (8%) were negatively associated with higher NSES (aOR: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.73-0.99 per 1SD increase in NSES).
conclusionFavorable neighborhood social environments may reduce unhealthy behaviors among African Americans.
