Social Determinants of Health, Environmental Exposures and Home Radon Testing.
Article in Western journal of nursing research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Home radon testing is a primary lung cancer prevention strategy, yet the majority of Americans have not tested their home. This descriptive, ecological study uses 54,683 observed radon values collected in Kentucky homes from 1996 to 2016 to examine the association of county-level social determinants of health and environmental exposures on home radon testing rates. Multivariate linear regression analysis indicates that as median home value, rurality, and radon risk potential increased, counties experienced an increase in annual home radon testing rates. As adult smoking prevalence increased, counties experienced a decrease in annual rates of residential radon testing. These findings indicate that counties with low median home values, high adult smoking prevalence, and high incidence of lung cancer may benefit most from prevention interventions aimed at promoting home radon testing, adopting radon- and smoke-free home policies, and integrating radon risk reduction messaging into tobacco cessation and lung cancer screening programs.
