Socioeconomic status fails to account for worse outcomes in non-Hispanic black patients undergoing carotid revascularization.
Article in Journal of vascular surgery, 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
objectivePrevious studies have reported an association of Black race with worse carotid revascularization outcomes, but rarely include socioeconomic status as a confounding covariate. We aimed to assess the association of race and ethnicity with in-hospital and long-term outcomes following carotid revascularization before and after accounting for socioeconomic status.
methodsWe identified non-Hispanic Black and non-Hispanic white patients who underwent carotid endarterectomy, transfemoral carotid stenting, or transcarotid artery revascularization between 2003 and 2022 in the Vascular Quality Initiative. Primary outcomes were in-hospital stroke/death and long-term stroke/death. Multivariable logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the association of race with perioperative and long-term outcomes after adjusting for baseline characteristics using a sequential model approach without and with consideration of Area Deprivation Index (ADI), a validated composite marker of socioeconomic status.
resultsOf 201,395 patients, 5.1% (n = 10,195) were non-Hispanic Black, and 94.9% (n = 191,200) were non-Hispanic white. Mean follow-up time was 3.4±0.01 years. A disproportionately high percentage of Black patients were living in more socioeconomically deprived neighborhoods relative to their white counterparts (67.5% vs 54.2%; P < .001). After adjusting for demographic, comorbidity, and disease characteristics, Black race was associated with greater odds of in-hospital (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.24; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.10-1.40) and long-term stroke/death (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.13; 95% CI, 1.04-1.23). These associations did not substantially change after additionally adjusting for ADI; Black race was persistently associated with greater odds of in-hospital (aOR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.09-1.39) and long-term stroke/death (aHR, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.03-1.21). Patients living in the most deprived neighborhoods were at greater risk of long-term stroke/death compared with patients living in the least deprived neighborhoods (aHR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.05-1.35).
conclusionsNon-Hispanic Black race is associated with worse in-hospital and long-term outcomes following carotid revascularization despite accounting for neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation. There appears to be unrecognized gaps in care that prevent Black patients from experiencing equitable outcomes following carotid artery revascularization.
