Enhancing cultural considerations in networks and health: a commentary on racial differences in family health history knowledge and interpersonal mechanisms.
Article in Translational behavioral medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
In this commentary, I commend and expand upon the article of Lin et al., "Racial differences in family health history knowledge of type 2 diabetes: exploring the role of interpersonal mechanisms." In particular, the commentary discusses the role and importance of culture in family health history communication, as this topic is very relevant to Lin and colleagues' primary finding that in comparison to their White counterparts, African American families had uneven distributions of family health history knowledge due to them having fewer reciprocal health communication ties. I offer insights and suggestions regarding cultural influences on family health communication and the importance of incorporating cultural considerations in family networks studies. I also provide perspective on the translation of family networks and health study findings into the types of culturally appropriate interventions needed to activate family health history communication in racial and ethnic minority families. Information discussed has implications for future efforts seeking to reduce racial and ethnic disparities in family health history communication and knowledge.
