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 examines whether English proficiency and geographic context explain health insurance status among older Latino and Asian immigrants in the U.S. Drawn from the 2010-2012 ACS PUMS, 57,936 Latino and 47,742 Asian immigrants aged 65 and older were selected. Logistic regression analysis was conducted for the U.S. as a whole and separately by geographic region. In the entire U.S., having limited English proficiency (LEP) and being proficient in English (EP) increased odds of being uninsured among Latino immigrants, whereas LEP and EP decreased odds of being uninsured among Asian immigrants. In the stratified analyses for geographic regions, there were significant ethnic differences in the directionality of the relation between English proficiency and uninsured status. Regional institutions should take care to expand access to information on health care and insurance coverage to racial/ethnic minorities, taking into account the characteristics of these groups at the local level.
