Black-White Racial Disparities in Disabilities Among Older Americans Between 2008 and 2017: Improvements in Cognitive Disabilities but no Progress in Activities of Daily Living or Functional Limitations.

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
The objectives of this study were to examine the prevalence of race-based disparities in cognitive problems, functional limitations (FLs), and activity of daily living (ADL) limitations between US Black and White older adults in 2008 and 2017, to explore how age, sex, income, and education attenuate these racial disparities, and to determine if Black-White health disparities are narrowing. Secondary analysis of the nationally representative American Community Surveys including 423,066 respondents aged ≥65 (388,602 White, 34,464 Black) in 2008 and 536,984 (488,483 White, 48,501 Black) in 2017. Findings indicate that Black-White racial disparities were apparent for all three outcomes in 2008 and 2017. Approximately half of the racial disparities was attenuated when adjustments were made for education and income. Racial disparities in cognition declined between 2008 and 2017 (
