[Racism and discrimination in the context of health inequalities-a narrative review].
Review in Bundesgesundheitsblatt, Gesundheitsforschung, Gesundheitsschutz, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Racism and discrimination as social determinants of health are becoming increasingly recognised in public health research in Germany. Studies show correlations with physical and mental health and even changes at the cellular level. In addition to the adverse health effects of interpersonal and direct discrimination, the relevance of structural and institutional racism for health inequalities has been little explored. This narrative review synthesises and critically discusses relevant and recent research findings and makes recommendations for action in research and practice.Structural and institutional aspects of discrimination and racism are closely linked to health. Systemic discrimination in education, employment, housing and healthcare affects overall, mental and physical health, access to prevention and care, and health behaviour.An analysis of the relationship between living, housing and working conditions and the health situation of people with (and without) a history of migration - in general and in relation to racism and discrimination - seems necessary in order to derive targeted measures for structural prevention, rather than focusing on purely behavioural prevention. In addition to practical interventions (trainings, education, and community-based approaches), the further development of methodological aspects in the field of data collection and analysis is important in order to address this issue comprehensively in research and practice.
