Are at-risk sociodemographic attributes stable across COVID-19 transmission waves?
Article in Spatial and spatio-temporal epidemiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
COVID-19 health impacts and risks have been disproportionate across social, economic, and racial gradients (Chen et al., 2021; Thompson et al., 2021; Mamuji et al., 2021; COVID-19 and Ethnicity, 2020). By examining the first five waves of the pandemic in Ontario, we identify if Forward Sortation Area (FSAs)based measures of sociodemographic status and their relationship to COVID-19 cases are stable or vary by time. COVID-19 waves were defined using a time-series graph of COVID-19 case counts by epi-week. Percent Black visible minority, percent Southeast Asian visible minority and percent Chinese visible minority at the FSA level were then integrated into spatial error models with other established vulnerability characteristics. The models indicate that area-based sociodemographic patterns associated with COVID-19 infection change over time. If sociodemographic characteristics are identified as high risk (increased COVID-19 case rates) increased testing, public health messaging, and other preventative care may be implemented to protect populations from the inequitable burden of disease.
