"American Indian" as a Racial Category in Public Health: Implications for Communities and Practice.
Article in American journal of public health, 2021. 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
When public health considers the health and disease status of Indigenous people, it often does so using a racial lens. In recent decades, public health researchers have begun to acknowledge that commonly employed racial categories represent history, power dynamics, embodiment, and legacies of discrimination and racism, rather than innate biology. Even so, public health has not yet fully embraced an understanding of other components of identity formation for Indigenous people, including political status within Native nations. In this article, we discuss why the continued racial conceptualization of Indigeneity in US public health is inadequate. We begin by providing a brief account of racialization as a tool of colonization, of failure to recognize and acknowledge Indigenous sovereignty, and of common public health practices of Indigenous data collection and interpretation. We then articulate the stakes of racialized health data for Native communities. We end by offering alternative approaches, many drawn from scholarship from Indigenous researchers. (
