Patterns of black and white hysterectomy incidence among reproductive aged women.
Article in Health services research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectiveTo investigate the intersection of race and economic context in treatment with hysterectomy among reproductive aged women with noncancerous gynecologic conditions. DATA SOURCES: We combined administrative billing records of inpatient and outpatient hysterectomy procedures (N = 28 301) occurring in North Carolina between 2011 and 2014 with census data to calculate county-level hysterectomy rates. STUDY
designSpatial analysis techniques examined the distribution of black and white hysterectomy rates across counties, and county-level black and white rate differences were compared across economic contexts. DATA COLLECTION/EXTRACTION: We restricted to those of premenopausal age identifying as non-Hispanic black or white, undergoing hysterectomy for nonemergent causes (N = 28 301 procedures). PRINCIPAL
findingsCounty-level hysterectomy rates were spatially patterned (Moran's I, P < .05) and similarly so for black and white women (LISA, P < .005). The black-white difference in hysterectomy rates was the largest in the high economic tier counties (22/10 000 person-years [PY], P < .05) and smallest in the mid and low economic tier counties (11/10 000 PY, P > .05 and 10/10 000 PY, P > .05, respectively).
conclusionSocioeconomic context is important to understand, particularly for black-white disparities in hysterectomy. Efforts should be made to understand the causes of higher rates of hysterectomy among blacks than whites, especially in counties in the highest economic tier.
