Health Care Disparities in Race-Ethnic Minority Communities and Populations: Does the Availability of Health Care Providers Play a Role?
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2020. 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
objectivesTo examine disparities in use and access to different health care providers by community and individual race-ethnicity and to test provider supply as a potential mediator. DATA SOURCES: National secondary data from 2014 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, 5-year estimates (2010-2014) from American Community Survey, and 2014 InfoUSA. STUDY
designMultiple logistic regression models examined the association of community and individual race-ethnicity with reported health care visits and access. Mediation analyses tested the role of provider supply. DATA EXTRACTION
methodsIndividual-level survey data were linked to race-ethnic composition and health business counts of the respondent's primary care service area (PCSA). PRINCIPAL
findingsMinority PCSAs are significantly and independently associated with lower odds of having a visit to a physician assistant/nurse practitioner, dentist, or other health professionals and having a usual care provider (all p < 0.05). Few significant associations were observed for integrated PCSAs or for health provider supply. A modest mediation effect for provider supply was observed for travel time to usual care provider and visit to other health professionals.
conclusionsUse of a range of health services is lower in minority communities and individuals. However, provider supply was not an important explanatory factor of these disparities.
