1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This study sought factors in immigrants' utilization of services of physicians and dentists, as well as their use of prescription medication. The study used data from 1452 adult immigrants collected for the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011-2012. Logistic regression results showed that age, US citizenship, and health insurance status were associated with the use of physician, dentist, and medication services. For this sample, physician visits were associated negatively with Hispanic ethnicity, poverty-level family income, and English-language proficiency. Also, dentist visits were associated positively with female gender, good health, and more education; and negatively with Black ethnicity, family income at 101-200% of poverty level, and English-language proficiency. Medication use was associated positively with poor health and female gender, and negatively with Hispanic ethnicity. Implications for policy and intervention development/implementation are discussed.
