Investigating the Association between English Proficiency and General Health among Marshallese Adults in the United States.

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
Prior studies have not examined the association between English proficiency and health among Marshallese adults. Cross-sectional data from 378 Marshallese adults enrolled in a Diabetes Prevention Program study in Arkansas and Oklahoma were used to document English proficiency, assess the relationship between sociodemographic health-related characteristics and English proficiency, and examine the association between English proficiency and general health. Approximately one-fifth of participants reported limited English proficiency (LEP). One-fifth of participants reported being in fair or poor health. General health, age group, education, household food insufficiency, inability to afford necessities, and comorbidities were significantly associated with LEP. Participants with LEP were 78% less likely to report better general health compared with those who reported speaking English very well. Limited English proficiency was high among this sample of Marshallese adults. Findings highlight the need for additional Marshallese clinical interpretation and translation services.
