Health disparities in systemic lupus erythematosus-a narrative review.
Review in Clinical rheumatology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 43 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
purpose of reviewTo describe root causes of health disparities by reviewing studies on incidence and outcomes of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) related to ethnic, race, gender, or socioeconomic differences and to propose solutions. RECENT
findingsSLE outcomes have steadily improved over the past 40 years but are not uniformly distributed across various racial and ethnic groups. Belonging to racial and ethnic minority has been cited as a risk factor for more severe disease and poor outcome in SLE. Population-based registries have demonstrated that Black patients with SLE have significantly lower life expectancy compared to White patients. Lower socioeconomic status has been shown to be one of the strongest predictors of progression to end stage renal disease in lupus nephritis. An association between patient experiences of racial discrimination, increased SLE activity, and damage has also been described. The lack of representation of marginalized communities in lupus clinical trials further perpetuates these disparities. To that end, the goal of a rheumatology workforce that resembles the patients it treats has emerged as one of many solutions to current shortfalls in care. Disparities in SLE incidence, treatment, and outcomes have now been well established. The root causes of these disparities are multifactorial including genetic, epigenetic, and socioeconomic. The underrepresentation of marginalized communities in lupus clinical trials further worsen these disparities. Efforts have been made recently to address disparities in a more comprehensive manner, but systemic causes of disparities must be acknowledged and political will is required for a sustained positive change.
