Is Patient-Provider Racial Concordance Associated with Hispanics' Satisfaction with Health Care?
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
This study adds a gender approach to determine how patient provider racial concordance and acculturation affect Hispanics' satisfaction with care and inform more nuanced approaches to improving the quality of care for this population. Using the Medical Expenditure Panel Surveys (MEPS) from 2009⁻2011, four binary satisfaction outcome measures were created from the MEPS: "doctor showed respect", "spent enough time", "explained things in a way you could understand", and "listened carefully". Next, a Probit model was employed to estimate the impact of racial concordance and acculturation on the probability of being satisfied with provider care for both male and female Hispanics. For Hispanic women, no significant association was found for the relationship between patient-provider concordance and the overall satisfaction with their care. Hispanic men were found to be less likely to be satisfied with some aspects of their medical care when they were racially concordant with their provider. Overcoming assumptions about shared identity is a crucial step in providing culturally competent care for all patients. There is a need for additional considerations in medical training to help physicians connect with patients, regardless of any type of observable concordance.
