Impact of Length of Residence in the United States on Risk of Diabetes and Hypertension in Resettled Refugees.
Article in Journal of immigrant and minority health, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
The relationship between resettlement and development of chronic disease has yet to be elucidated in refugees. We aimed to assess the relationship between length of residence in the US and development of diabetes and hypertension utilizing multivariable logistic regression models in a sample of former refugee patients seeking primary care services. Multivariable logistic regression models adjusting for age, gender, and country of origin showed significantly increasing odds of type 2 diabetes (OR 1.12, 95% CI 1.03-1.22, p < 0.01) and hypertension (OR 1.07, 95% CI 1.00-1.14) with increasing length of stay in the US for resettled refugee adults. A significant proportion of diabetes (26.7%) and hypertension (36.9%) diagnoses were made within one year of arrival, highlighting the critical role of focusing diagnosis and prevention of chronic disease in newly resettled refugees, and continuing this focus throughout follow-up as these patients acculturate to their new homeland.
