Deprivation trends in potentially avoidable medical hospitalisations of under-25-year-old Māori and non-Māori non-Pacific in Aotearoa New Zealand: a 20-year perspective.
Article in Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Unnecessary hospitalisations for preventable or treatable conditions provides an indication of the health of a country and its systems. We present data on potentially avoidable hospitalisations of Māori and non-Māori non-Pacific (NMNP) under-25-year-olds for medical conditions during the period 2000-2019, with particular focus on the magnitude of inequity by area deprivation. Potentially avoidable hospitalisation rates of under-25 years for medical conditions were consistently higher for Māori than for NMNP over the 20-year study period. The absolute difference in potentially avoidable hospitalisation rates between the most and least deprived areas were greater for Māori than for NMNP in all years of the study. Respiratory conditions and skin infections accounted for more than 60% of potentially avoidable hospitalisations of Māori under-25-year-olds. The persistent trends in deprivation-based inequities in health outcomes for Māori, on both absolute and relative scales, suggest greater attention needs to be paid to implementing effective policy focussed on reducing these deprivation-based inequities and on improving access to and quality of care.
