Home Health Care to Asian Americans: a Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveDespite being the fastest growing minority group in the USA, Asian Americans are among the least studied ones, particularly in the home and community-based services settings. This study aimed to review and synthesize extant evidence on Asian American's access, utilization, and outcomes of home health care.
methodsThis is a systematic review study. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed and CINAHL as well as hand search. Each study was screened, reviewed, and evaluated for quality by at least two reviewers independently.
resultsTwelve articles were determined eligible and included for review. Asian Americans were less likely to be discharged to home health care following hospitalization. At admission to home health care, Asian Americans had a high rate of inappropriate medication issues (28%) and they also had poorer functional status compared to White Americans. Asian Americans were also reported with less improvement in functional status at the end of home health care; however, there were some inconsistencies in the evidence on Asian Americans' utilization of formal/skilled home health care. Quality evaluation indicated that findings from some studies were limited by small sample size, single site/home health agency, analytic approaches, and other methodologic limitations.
conclusionsAsian Americans often experience inequities in home health care access, utilization, and outcomes. Multilevel factors may contribute to such inequities, including structural racism. Robust research using population-based data and advanced methodology is needed to better understand home health care to Asian Americans.
