Examining the impacts of neighborhood poverty on bodyweight across the BMI distribution: a quantile and MSM modeling approach.
Article in Annals of epidemiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeGiven that the relationships between higher BMI and adverse health outcomes are nonconstant and most pronounced at either ends of the BMI distribution, we assess the association between neighborhood poverty and BMI at multiple points along the BMI distribution.
methodsUsing data from the 1999 to 2015 Panel Study of Income Dynamics of Black and White adults in the United States, we estimate quantile regression models while jointly applying a marginal structural modeling approach to account for time-varying individual-level factors that may be simultaneously mediators as well as confounders.
resultsNeighborhood poverty was not found to be associated with bodyweight at any point along the BMI distribution for Black or White males. However, high neighborhood poverty, compared to low neighborhood poverty, predicted increases in bodyweight for Black females at the lower end of the BMI distribution and for White females at the higher end of the BMI distribution. No association was found between neighborhood poverty and BMI at the mean.
conclusionsResults identify the most vulnerable subgroups, suggesting that White females at the higher end of the BMI distribution as well as Black females at the lower end of the BMI distribution are particularly sensitive to obesogenic environments.
