Excess 30-Day Heart Failure Readmissions and Mortality in Black Patients Increases With Neighborhood Deprivation.

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
backgroundLongstanding racial disparities in heart failure (HF) outcomes exist in the United States, in part, due to social determinants of health. We examined whether neighborhood environment modifies the disparity in 30-day HF readmissions and mortality between Black and White patients in the Southeastern United States.
methodsWe created a geocoded retrospective cohort of patients hospitalized for acute HF within Emory Healthcare from 2010 to 2018. Quartiles of the Social Deprivation Index characterized neighborhood deprivation at the census tract level. We estimated the relative risk of 30-day readmission and 30-day mortality following an index hospitalization for acute HF. Excess readmissions and mortality were estimated as the absolute risk difference between Black and White patients within each Social Deprivation Index quartile, adjusted for geographic clustering, demographic, clinical, and hospital characteristics.
resultsThe cohort included 30 630 patients, mean age 66 years, 48% female, 53% Black. Compared with White patients, Black patients were more likely to reside in deprived census tracts and have higher comorbidity scores. From 2010 to 2018, 29.4% of Black and 23.0% of White patients experienced either a 30-day HF readmission or 30-day death (
conclusionsExcess 30-day HF readmissions and mortality are present among Black patients in every neighborhood strata and increase with progressive neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation.
