African Americans, African Immigrants, and Afro-Caribbeans Differ in Social Determinants of Hypertension and Diabetes: Evidence from the National Health Interview Survey.

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
In the United States (U.S.), Blacks have higher morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD) than other racial groups. The Black racial group includes African Americans (AAs), African immigrants (AIs), and Afro-Caribbeans (ACs); however, little research examines how social determinants differentially influence CVD risk factors in each ethnic subgroup. We analyzed the 2010-2014 National Health Interview Survey, a cross-sectional, nationally representative survey of non-institutionalized civilians. We included 40,838 Blacks: 36,881 AAs, 1660 AIs, and 2297 ACs. Age- and sex-adjusted hypertension prevalence was 37, 22, and 21% in AAs, ACs, and AIs, respectively. Age- and sex-adjusted diabetes prevalence was 12, 10, and 7% in AAs, ACs, and AIs, respectively. In the multivariable logistic regression analyses, social determinants of hypertension and diabetes differed by ethnicity. Higher income was associated with lower odds of hypertension in AAs (aOR 0.86, 95% CI 0.77-0.96) and ACs (aOR 0.55, 95% CI 0.37-0.83). In AAs, those with some college education (aOR 0.79, 95% CI 0.68-0.92) and college graduates (aOR 0.62, 95% CI 0.53-0.73) had lower odds of hypertension than those with < high school education. In AIs, having health insurance was associated with higher odds of hypertension (aOR 1.59, 95% CI 1.04-2.42) and diabetes (aOR 3.22, 95% CI 1.29-8.04) diagnoses. We observed that the social determinants associated with hypertension and diabetes differed by ethnicity. Socioeconomic factors of health insurance and income were associated with a disparate prevalence of hypertension by ethnic group. Future research among Blacks should stratify by ethnicity to adequately address the contributors to health disparities.
