Disparities in the Prevalence of Unmet Needs and Their Consequences Among Black and White Older Adults.
Article in Journal of aging and health, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
objectiveWe document differential prevalence of need for assistance with personal, instrumental, and mobility tasks and adverse consequences of unmet needs, nursing home relocation, and mortality among Black and White older adults.
methodData are from the National Health and Aging Trends Study. Using logistic and multinomial logistic regression, we determine whether race is predictive of reporting need or adverse consequence and test the role of race as a moderator of the relationship between baseline need and three 1-year outcomes.
resultsBlack older adults are more likely to experience a consequence of unmet need (35.33% vs. 29.97%, p = .028) in unadjusted models. In adjusted models, we find no moderating effect of race on baseline need on nursing home placement (0.00, 95% confidence interval [CI] = [-2.43, 2.42], p = .991), mortality (0.73, 95% = [-1.58, 0.11], p = .089), or a Round 2 consequence of unmet (-0.51, 95% CI = [-1.15, 0.14], p = .121). DISCUSSION: This work highlights the complex relationship between race, need, unmet need, mortality, and nursing home entry.
