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
purposeDelays in receiving medical care are an urgent problem. This study aims to determine whether the odds of, and reasons for, experiencing care delays differ by gender, race-ethnicity, and survey completion before versus during the COVID-19 pandemic.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional analysis of survey data from participants age ≥18 in the National Institutes of Health's All of Us Research Program collected from May 6, 2018, to January 1, 2022. Logistic regressions were performed to assess the association of gender, race-ethnicity, and survey completion date with any of nine reasons for delaying care in the past 12 months.
resultsOf 119,983 participants, 37.8% reported delaying care in the past 12 months. After adjusting for employment status, education, income, marital status, health insurance, and age, women of every race-ethnicity and Black and other race-ethnicity men were more likely than white men to report delays in care: Asian women (odds ratio [OR] 1.23; 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.13, 1.34]), Black men (OR 1.15; 95% CI [1.05, 1.25]) and women (OR 1.46; 95% CI [1.38, 1.54]), Hispanic women (OR 1.36; 95% CI [1.28, 1.44]), white women (OR 1.55; 95% CI [1.50, 1.60]), and other race-ethnicity men (OR 1.15; 95% CI [1.05, 1.27]) and women (OR 1.79; 95% CI [1.67, 1.91]). A small but statistically significant difference was seen in reports of care delays for non-pandemic-related reasons during versus before the COVID-19 pandemic (OR 0.88; 95% CI [0.83, 0.93]).
conclusionsIn this study of a diverse group of U.S. participants, women and Black and other race-ethnicity men were more likely than white men to report delays in care, both before and during COVID-19. Addressing care delays may be necessary to ameliorate health disparities by race-ethnicity and gender.
