Examining the Association between Community-Level Marginalization and Emergency Room Wait Time in Ontario, Canada.
Article in Healthcare policy = Politiques de sante, 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
objectiveThis study examines the association between community-level marginalization and emergency room (ER) wait time in Ontario.
methodsData sources included ER wait time data and Ontario Marginalization Index scores. Linear regression models were used to quantify the association.
resultsA positive association between total marginalization and overall, high-acuity and low-acuity ER wait time was found. Considering specific marginalization dimensions, we found positive associations between residential instability and ER wait time and negative associations between dependency and ER wait time.
conclusionsReductions in community-level marginalization may impact ER wait time. Future studies using individual-level data are necessary.
