The Diverging Impacts of Segregation on Obesity Risk by Nativity and Neighborhood Poverty Among Hispanic Americans.

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
While racial residential segregation is frequently cited as a fundamental cause of racial health disparities, its health impacts for Hispanic Americans remain unclear. We argue that several shortcomings have limited our understanding of how segregation influences Hispanic health outcomes, most notably a failure to assess the possible diverging impacts of segregation by neighborhood poverty level and the conflation of segregation with ethnic enclaves. We use multiple years of restricted geocoded data from a nationally representative sample of the US population (2006-2013 National Health Interview Survey) to investigate the association between metropolitan-level Hispanic segregation and obesity by nativity and neighborhood poverty level. We find segregation to be protective against obesity for Hispanic immigrants who reside in low poverty neighborhoods. For Hispanic immigrants residing in higher neighborhood poverty, no association between segregation and obesity was found. Among US-born Hispanics, we observe an increased risk of obesity-but only for those in high poverty neighborhoods. No association was found for those in low and medium neighborhood poverty. Results provide evidence to indicate that the relationship between segregation and health for Hispanics is not uniform within a metropolitan area. In the case of obesity, the consequences of metropolitan Hispanic segregation can be either protective, null, or deleterious depending not only on local neighborhood context but also on nativity.
