Associations between perceived discrimination over the life course, subjective social status, and health literacy: A racial/ethnic stratification analysis.
Article in PEC innovation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Objective: To analyze the relationship between perceived discrimination over the life course, social status, and limited health literacy (HL). Methods: 5040 adults who participated in the 2023 Survey of Racism and Public Health. We applied stratified multilevel models adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics. Results: The average age was 47 years, 48% identified as White, 20% as Latinx, and 17% as Black. In the overall sample, we observed associations of perceived discrimination (b = 0.05, 95% CI: 0.01, 0.09), subjective social status (b = -0.16, 95% CI: -0.23, -0.10), and their interaction (b = 0.02, 95% CI: 0.01, 0.03). More perceived discrimination was associated with lower HL in the White and Multiracial participants. Higher subjective social status was associated with higher HL in the White and Latinx participants. There was a statistically significant interaction between perceived discrimination and subjective social status on HL among the White, Latinx, and Multiracial participants. Conclusion: This analysis has implications for public health practice, indicating that multi-level interventions are needed to address limited HL. Innovation: Our findings provide novel insights for identifying key SDOH indicators to assess in clinical settings to provide health literate care.
