Citizenship and health insurance status predict glycemic management: NHANES data 2007-2016.
Article in Preventive medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
The prevalence of diabetes in United States (US) immigrants is higher than the general population. Non-citizenship and lack of health insurance have been associated with increased health risks including diabetes, but previous US studies were done in non-representative samples and did not examine the effect on glycemic management. The purpose of this study was to compare demographic, metabolic, and behavioral risk factors for increased blood glucose including citizenship and health insurance status, and determine predictors of poor glycemic management (A1C ≥ 8.0%). Logistic regression was used to analyze data from the 2007-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) of persons with diabetes and available citizenship data ages 30 to 70 years (N = 2702), excluding persons with A1C < 5% and pregnant women. Results represent the weighted sample. Among participants, 92% indicated citizenship by birth (81%) or naturalization (11%). Insured rates increased from 83% to 91% between 2007 and 2008 and 2015-2016 (p < .001). Citizenship was positively associated with insurance status, higher income and education, better diet, increased smoking, and more sedentary hours (ps < .05). Non- citizens (OR: 1.74, 95% CI: 1.20-2.51) and uninsured persons (OR: 1.99, 95% CI: 1.53-2.59) were nearly twice as likely to have poor glycemic management than US citizens by naturalization and insured individuals respectively. We conclude that citizenship and absence of health insurance negatively impacts diabetes management. Policy decisions are needed that address primary and secondary prevention strategies for individuals without citizenship and health insurance to reduce diabetes burden in the US.
