Association Between Limited English Proficiency and Healthcare Access and Utilization in California.

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
In this study, we aimed to investigate healthcare access and utilization among patients with limited English proficiency (LEP). We analyzed aggregated data from the 2018 California Health Interview Survey, a large population-based survey. Survey weighted univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted. A total of 21,177 participants were included with 8.2% having LEP. Compared to participants with proficient English, LEP participants were less likely to have a usual place to go to when sick other than the ER or have a preventive care visit in the past year after adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics. However, LEP participants were also less likely to need to see a medical specialist and less likely to delay necessary medical care compared to English proficient participants. While patients with LEP were less likely to have access to preventative care, they were also less likely to delay necessary care.
