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

Nguyễn et al. (Am J Epidemiol. 2024;193(10):1343-1351) analyzed data from the US National Survey of Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) to show that Asian American Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (AANHPI) adults with limited English proficiency have substantially lower levels of mental health services utilization compared with White adults without limited English proficiency. The findings add to the growing literature using an intersectionality framework to understand health and health care disparities. We comment on the authors' notable examination of intersecting minoritized identities in mental health services utilization and the welcome emphasis on AANHPI health. We discuss the limitations of the NSDUH data, which are administered in English and Spanish only, and their limited ability to support analyses disaggregated by ethnoracial subgroups. We conclude by identifying gaps related to funding, training, and data disaggregation, and we highlight the role of mixed-methods approaches to advance our understanding of intersectionality and health disparities research. This article is part of a Special Collection on Mental Health.
