Cross-sectional Associations of Multiracial Identity with Self-Reported Asthma and Poor Health Among American Indian and Alaska Native Adults.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2023. 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
introductionAmerican Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) multiracial subgroups are underrecognized in health outcomes research.
methodsWe performed a cross-sectional analysis of Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System surveys (2013-2019), including adults who self-identified as AI/AN only (single race AI/AN, n = 60,413) or as AI/AN and at least one other race (multiracial AI/AN, (n = 6056)). We used log binomial regression to estimate the survey-weighted prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of lifetime asthma, current asthma, and poor self-reported health among multiracial AI/AN adults compared to single race AI/AN adults, adjusting for age, obesity, and smoking status. We then examined whether associations differed by sex and by Latinx identity.
resultsLifetime asthma, current asthma, and poor health were reported by 25%, 18%, and 30% of multiracial AI/AN adults and 18%, 12%, and 28% single race AI/AN adults. Multiracial AI/AN was associated with a higher prevalence of lifetime (PR 1.30, 95% CI 1.18-1.43) and current asthma (PR 1.36, 95% CI 1.21-1.54), but not poor health. Associations did not differ by sex. The association of multiracial identity with current asthma was stronger among AI/AN adults who identified as Latinx (PR 1.77, 95% CI 1.08-2.94) than non-Latinx AI/AN (PR 1.18, 95% CI 1.04-1.33), p-value for interaction 0.03.
conclusionsMultiracial AI/AN adults experience a higher prevalence of lifetime and current asthma compared to single race AI/AN adults. The association between multiracial identity and current asthma is stronger among AI/AN Latinx individuals. The mechanisms for these findings remain under-explored and merit further study.
