Source of Health Information and Unmet Healthcare Needs in Asian Americans.

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
backgroundResponding to the disparities in accessing and obtaining health information and healthcare among immigrant populations, the present study focused on Asian Americans. Using a sample that reflects Asian Americans' cultural and linguistic diversities, the goal was to explore the typologies of health information source and their predictability to unmet healthcare needs (i.e., the experience of not being able to get needed medical care).
methodsData were drawn from the 2015 Asian American Quality of Life Survey (N = 2,592), conducted using culturally and linguistically sensitive approaches. Latent class analysis on nine sources of health information across interpersonal networks (family members, close friends, acquaintances, and health professionals) and Internet-based communication technologies (mobile apps, email listservs, social networking sites, online communities, and health websites) identified six classes: 'resource-heavy,' 'human-oriented,' 'expertise-focused,' 'family-dominant,' 'resource-scarce,' and 'health professional-dominant.'
resultsCompared to the resource-heavy group, the odds of having an unmet healthcare need were 2.94 times greater in the family-dominant group and 4.13 times greater in the resource-scarce group. DISCUSSION: Findings provide implications for interventions with respect to subgroups to be prioritized and areas to be targeted in efforts to promote access and acquisition of health information and health services in Asian Americans.
