A Systematic Review of the Relationship Between Discrimination, Racism, and Type 2 Diabetes Healthcare Outcomes for Black Americans.
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 12 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
backgroundDisparities in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) risk, care, and complications impact Black Americans more than that of their White counterparts. This study aims to examine the association between discrimination, racism, and T2DM care and outcomes in Black Americans.
methodThe systematic review was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines.
resultsA total of six original research articles met the inclusion criteria, comprising three quantitative and three qualitative studies. Overall, the systematic review findings revealed that among Black Americans, perceived interpersonal discrimination and racism by healthcare professionals are associated with patients' behaviors that impact T2DM outcomes. The findings also revealed that provider-level factors such as communication, provider assumptions and attitudes, information sharing, shared decision-making, and disease management behaviors might influence T2DM outcomes in this population. DISCUSSION: Better T2DM-related outcomes depend on optimal disease control through adequate disease management. Building a therapeutic and culturally appropriate relationship free of discrimination and racism is vital for optimal disease management and decreasing health disparities in this patient population.
conclusionPerceived interpersonal racism and discrimination by healthcare providers, among other sociocultural factors, play a crucial role in influencing some patient behaviors that affect T2DM health outcomes in this population. Efforts to decrease health disparities in this specific community should also focus on interventions addressing provider-level factors and behaviors perceived as racist or discriminatory.
