Diabetes prevalence among diverse Hispanic populations: considering nativity, ethnic discrimination, acculturation, and BMI.
Article in Eating and weight disorders : EWD, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
purposeTo compare prevalence of self-reported diabetes between U.S. state-born, Puerto Rico-born, Mexico-born, Cuba-born, and South/Central America-born Hispanic groups, and examine whether risk for diabetes differs by country of origin and experiences with discrimination when accounting for BMI.
methodsData from 6223 Hispanic respondents from the nationally representative NESARC-III study was used. Sociodemographic characteristics were compared across nativity groups, and adjusted odds of self-reported diabetes diagnosis (past year) tested. Differences by perceived discrimination (using endorsement of individual items assessing specific experiences) and by nativity were examined when accounting for sociodemographic characteristics, acculturation, and BMI.
resultsPrevalence of self-reported diabetes diagnosis was significantly higher among the Puerto Rico-born Hispanics, and remained significantly elevated when adjusting for perceived discrimination, acculturation, and health risk behaviors. When adjusting further for BMI, there were no significant differences in the odds of diabetes by nativity. Prevalence of lifetime perceived discrimination was significantly lower among Cuba-born Hispanics. Mean BMI was significantly lower in South/Central America-born Hispanic individuals relative to U.S. state-, Mexico-, and Puerto Rico-born Hispanic groups. Higher BMI was associated with significantly greater risk of diabetes diagnosis across groups.
conclusionMarked heterogeneity exists in prevalence and in factors associated with diabetes risk and weight status across Hispanic groups in the U.S. Experiences with discrimination may play an important role in accounting for these differences. This should be considered when planning future research to inform the most optimal patient-centered prevention efforts. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, Evidence obtained from well-designed cohort analytic study.
