Changes Over Time in Disparities in Health Behaviors and Outcomes by Race in Allegheny County: 2009 to 2015.
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 6 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
Racial/ethnic disparities in health behaviors and disease outcomes on the national level have persisted over time despite overall improvements in public health. To better understand the changes over time in racial/ethnic health disparities at the county level, we examined the Allegheny County Health Survey (ACHS) for Pittsburgh, PA and the surrounding area, which was conducted in 2009/2010 and 2015/2016 using random digit dialing of residents aged 18 and older. The prevalence rates and rate ratios at each time period were calculated using survey weights and general linear models. The change in prevalence over time was calculated using race-time interaction terms. The results showed a significant improvement in asthma, stroke, cholesterol, and fair or poor health disparities as well as persistent disparities in diabetes and hypertension after adjustment for socioeconomic factors. The change over time in the prevalence of fair or poor health in black compared to white respondents was significant, with absolute improvement of approximately 5% versus < 1%, respectively (p = 0.01). These findings demonstrate that some disparities improved while others persist, noting the importance of monitoring the changes over time at the local health department level.
