What is the health impact of COVID-19 among Black communities in Canada? A systematic review.
Synthesis in Canadian journal of public health = Revue canadienne de sante publique, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Who cites it
9 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 15 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
objectiveThe objective of this systematic review was to identify the health impact of COVID-19 on mortality, morbidity, hospital admission, and hospital readmission rates in the Black population across Canada.
methodsA comprehensive search strategy consisting of relevant subject headings and keywords was executed in five databases: OVID Medline, OVID Embase, EBSCO CINAHL Plus, Web of Science, and Scopus. Additional searches were conducted for gray literature in ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global, Google Scholar, and an advanced customized Google search for Canadian government documents. All eligible studies included in this review underwent quality assessment.
resultsClinical health outcomes identified included mortality, morbidity, and hospital admission rates; none of the studies reported hospital readmission rates. The search identified 616 citations, and following the removal of duplicates and screening according to our inclusion/exclusion criteria, four articles were eligible for inclusion in the review. All of these studies were conducted in Canada. Study dates ranged from 2020 to 2021.
conclusionA systematic review of studies on the impact of COVID-19 on the Black population in Canada highlights two key points. First, the collection and availability of race-based data are necessary to clarify the impact of COVID-19 and other diseases on Black populations in Canada. Second, with the limited available data, studies suggest that COVID-19 disproportionately impacts Black populations in Canada, making up high shares of cases, deaths, and hospitalizations compared to most of the population.
