Factors Associated with Health Insurance Status in an Asian American Population in New York City: Analysis of a Community-Based Survey.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundImmigrants comprise approximately 13% of the US population and 33% lack health coverage. Asian Americans are the fastest growing immigrant group; many lack a usual source of care. This study examines factors associated with health insurance among Asian American immigrants living in New York City.
methodsCommunity needs assessments were conducted among Asian American subgroups in New York City from 2013 to 2015; analysis was completed in 2017 and 2018. Descriptive statistics examined factors associated with health insurance status while stratifying by Asian ethnic subgroup; multivariable logistic regression models further assessed these associations (p < 0.05 significance level).
resultsApproximately 19% of the study population (n = 1399) was uninsured. Logistic regression models adjusted for all factors. Among East Asians, insurance status was associated with female sex (OR = 2.8, p = 0.005), excellent/very good health status (OR = 3.5, p = 0.014), and seeing a private doctor when sick or injured (OR = 3.2, p = 0.033). Among South Asians, insurance status was associated with high school/some college and college education (OR = 2.6 and 2.9, respectively, p = 0.039 and p = 0.021), having a routine health check in the past year (OR = 6.4, p < 0.001), no diabetes diagnosis (OR = 2.7, p = 0.030), and a tuberculosis diagnosis (OR = 4.7, p = 0.019). Among Southeast Asians, insurance status was associated with less than high school education (p < 0.05), living in the USA > 20 years (OR = 3.7, p = 0.009), having a routine health check in the past year (OR = 5.6, p = 0.025), and seeing a private doctor when sick or injured (OR = 2.6, p = 0.018).
conclusionsHealth insurance status was associated with differing factors among each subgroup. Findings may inform strategies to address challenges and barriers of healthcare access to immigrants, making healthcare more accessible to this underserved population.
