Ethnicity, educational attainment, and physical health of older adults in the United States.
Article in Aging medicine (Milton (N.S.W)), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveMinorities' diminished returns theory suggests that socioeconomic status (SES) resources generate fewer health benefits for racial and ethnic minority groups, compared to the majority group. The current study aimed to compare Hispanic and non-Hispanic white older adults for the association between educational attainment and poor physical self-rated health (SRH).
methodsThe first wave of the University of Michigan National Poll on Healthy Aging (UM-NPHA) included 1820 older adults who were 50-80 years old and were either non-Hispanic white (n = 1618) or Hispanic white (n = 202). The main independent variable of interest was educational attainment. The main dependent variable of interest was poor physical SRH. Gender, age, marital status, and employment status were covariates. Ethnicity was the focal effect modifier.
resultsOverall, higher level of educational attainment was associated with better physical SRH. A significant interaction was found between ethnicity and level of educational attainment, which was indicative of a smaller physical SRH gain due to high educational attainment for Hispanic white compared to non-Hispanic white older adults. In ethnic-specific models, we found evidence suggesting that high educational attainment reduced the odds of poor physical SRH for non-Hispanic whites but not for Hispanic whites.
conclusionCompared to non-Hispanic whites, Hispanic whites gain less physical SRH benefits from their educational attainment.
