1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Within a small geographic area, Marion County contains a stark spectrum of health outcomes and socioeconomic statuses. The Indiana University Student Outreach Clinic (IUSOC) serves as a safety net provider, offering free health and social services in the Near Eastside neighborhood of Indianapolis. The aim of this study was to characterize the demographics and geographic distribution of the IUSOC's patient population. From January to September 2023, 612 patients visited the IUSOC, and 460 self-identified as Marion County residents. 63.9% of patients were between 45 and 64 years old. 66.8% were Non-Hispanic (NH) Black, and 23.3% were Hispanic. 18.9% spoke Spanish and had limited English proficiency. Based on the Distressed Communities Index (DCI), 58.7% lived in "Distressed" zip codes, indicating economic vulnerability and disparities. The zip code with the greatest number of IUSOC patients had the highest rate of uninsured adults in Marion County. IUSOC patients are primarily middle-aged minorities who live in zip codes with low socioeconomic rankings by DCI. This information can be used to improve community resource referral pathways in the clinic.
