What Geohistory Can Teach Us About Fundamental Causes of Health Inequities.
Article in Health equity, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The causes of cancer health inequities are complex, multilevel, and intersectional. The typical disciplines and data used to address these inequities focus on public health, health services, clinical, and fundamental science. Fundamental causes such as systemic racism are a source of much health inequity, but a broader scope of fundamental causes may be considered. Geohistorical events may intersect with other fundamental causes of health inequities. In this study, an example of relationships between ancient geological events, slavery, and subsequent effects of systematic racism are identified. These relationships support the hypothesis that health inequities have deep and complex origins. Geohistorical factors precede social, economic, and political influences on health inequities, and suggest that a full understanding of cancer health inequities and their elimination may be informed by geohistorical events. Thus, addressing inequities may involve disciplines not typically involved in health equity collaborations, including geography, history, economics, political science, and others.
