Neighborhood-level variability in asthma-related emergency department visits in Central Texas.
Article in The Journal of allergy and clinical immunology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundThe extent to which incidence rates of asthma-related emergency department (ED) visits vary from neighborhood to neighborhood and predictors of neighborhood-level asthma ED visit burden are not well understood.
objectiveWe aimed to describe the census tract-level spatial distribution of asthma-related ED visits in Central Texas and identify neighborhood-level characteristics that explain variability in neighborhood-level asthma ED visit rates.
methodsConditional autoregressive models were used to examine the spatial distribution of asthma-related ED visit incidence rates across census tracts in Travis County, Texas, and assess the contribution of census tract characteristics to their distribution.
resultsThere were distinct patterns in ED visit incidence rates at the census tract scale. These patterns were largely unexplained by socioeconomic or selected built environment neighborhood characteristics. However, racial and ethnic composition explained 33% of the variability of ED visit incidence rates across census tracts. The census tract predictors of ED visit incidence rates differed by racial and ethnic group.
conclusionsVariability in asthma ED visit incidence rates are apparent at smaller spatial scales. Most of the variability in census tract-level asthma ED visit rates in Central Texas is not explained by racial and ethnic composition or other neighborhood characteristics.
