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
To clarify the role of socioeconomic status (SES) in cardiovascular and cancer mortality disparities observed between Black, Hispanic, and Asian compared to White adults, we conducted a meta-analysis of the longitudinal research in the USA. A PubMed, Ovid Medline, Web of Science, and EBSCO search was performed from January 1995 to May 2023. Two authors independently screened the studies and conducted risk assessments, with conflicts resolved via consensus. Studies were required to analyze mortality data using Cox proportional hazard regression. Random-effects models were used to pool hazard ratios (HR) and reporting followed PRISMA guidelines. Twenty-two studies with cardiovascular mortality (White and Black (n = 22), Hispanic (n = 7), and Asian (n = 3) adults) and twenty-three with cancer mortality endpoints (White and Black (n = 23), Hispanic (n = 11), and Asian (n = 10) adults) were included. The meta-analytic sample for cardiovascular mortality endpoints was 6,199,049 adults (White = 4,891,735; Black = 935,002; Hispanic = 295,623; Asian = 76,689), while for cancer-specific mortality endpoints was 7,745,180 adults (White = 5,988,392; Black= 1,070,447; Hispanic= 484,848; Asian = 201,493). Median follow-up was 10 and 11 years in cohorts with cardiovascular and cancer mortality endpoints, respectively. Adjustments for SES attenuated the higher risk for cardiovascular (HR, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.30-1.64) and cancer mortality (HR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.32-1.38) of Black compared to White adults by 25% (HR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.15-1.28) and 19% (HR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.13-1.18), respectively. However, the Hispanic cardiovascular (HR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.73-0.85) and Asian cancer mortality (HR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.76-0.86) advantage were independent of SES. These findings emphasize the need to develop strategies focused on SES to reduce cardiovascular and cancer mortality in Black adults.
