Assessing Unmet Social and Medical Needs among Latinx in Arizona throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic: Time-Varying Patterns by Social Determinants of Health.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2025. 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
The pandemic exacerbated unmet social and medical needs, disproportionately impacting Latinx communities. This article examines how unmet needs varied from February 2021 to April 2023 among 428 Latinx individuals. Multiple-to-multiple path analysis models of cross-sectional surveys showed significant increases in unmet social (β = 0.17, p = .001) and medical (β = 0.12, p = .001) needs over time, with variations by age, language, and health insurance. Initially, older adults reported more unmet medical needs, but later, younger adults reported higher needs (β=-0.16, p = .001). Among Spanish speakers, both social (β = 0.24, p = .001) and medical (β = 0.20, p = .003) needs increased significantly. Uninsured individuals had significant increases in unmet social (β = 0.20, p = .001) and medical (β = 0.16, p = .013) needs, while those with public insurance experienced decreased social needs (β=-0.12, p = .017) compared to privately insured. These findings highlight growing disparities within the Latinx community, underscoring the need to prioritize vulnerable populations in public health responses and monitor program impacts for equitable access to essential services.
