Poor Self-Rated Health Is Associated with Hospitalization and Emergency Department Visits in African American Older Adults with Diabetes.
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 10 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
objectivesWe investigated the associations between poor self-rated health (SRH), hospitalization, and emergency department (ED) visits among African American older adults with diabetes mellitus (DM).
methodsThis survey recruited 235 non-institutionalized African American older adults (age > = 55 years) with diabetes mellitus (DM). Participants were recruited using a convenience sample from economically disadvantaged urban areas of South Los Angeles, California. Poor SRH was the independent variable. Hospitalization and ED visits in the past 12 months were the outcomes. Demographic factors, health [comorbid medical conditions (CMCs) and polypharmacy], health behaviors (smoking and drinking), and access (difficulty accessing care, dissatisfaction with the medical care, routine source of care, and visiting the same doctor) were confounders. Binary logistic regressions were used for data analysis.
resultsPoor SRH was associated with higher odds of hospitalization and ED visit, while all covariates were controlled.
conclusionsPoor SRH may be predictive of increased healthcare utilization among African American older adults with DM. Research should test whether close monitoring of African American older adults with DM and poor SRH helps reduce their frequency of hospitalization and ED visits or not.
