Linking Local-Level Chronic Disease and Social Vulnerability Measures to Inform Planning Efforts: A COPD Example.
Article in Preventing chronic disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
introductionData are publicly available to identify geographic differences in health outcomes, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and social vulnerability; however, examples of combining data across sources to understand disease burden in the context of community vulnerability are lacking.
methodsWe merged county and census tract model-based estimates of COPD prevalence from PLACES (www.cdc.gov/PLACES) with social vulnerability measures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry Social Vulnerability Index (https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/placeandhealth/svi), including 4 themes (socioeconomic, household composition and disability, minority status and language, and housing type and transportation), and the overall Social Vulnerability Index (SVI). We used the merged data set to create vulnerability profiles by COPD prevalence, explore joint geographic patterns, and calculate COPD population estimates by vulnerability levels.
resultsCounties and census tracts with high COPD prevalence (quartile 4) had high median vulnerability rankings (range: 0-1) for 2 themes: socioeconomic (county, 0.81; tract, 0.77) and household composition and disability (county, 0.75; tract, 0.81). Concordant high COPD prevalence and vulnerability for these themes were clustered along the Ohio and lower Mississippi rivers. The estimated number of adults with COPD residing in counties with high vulnerability was 2.5 million (tract: 4.7 million) for the socioeconomic theme and 2.3 million (tract: 5.0 million) for the household composition and disability theme (high overall SVI: county, 4.5 million; tract, 4.7 million).
conclusionData from 2 publicly available tools can be combined, analyzed, and visualized to jointly examine local COPD estimates and social vulnerability. These analyses can be replicated with other measures to expand the use of these cross-cutting tools for public health planning.
