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

Asian American (AA) and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) people are often aggregated into a monolithic group, but when they are disaggregated into ethnic groups (e.g., Chinese), inequities can be identified. Using a representative sample of adult Medicaid enrollees (N=55,215), the authors assessed inequities in self-reported access to mental or behavioral health services between non-Hispanic AA and NHPI Medicaid enrollees and non-Hispanic White Medicaid enrollees, both by racial group and across 10 disaggregated ethnic groups. AA and NHPI enrollees, by race and all 10 ethnicities, reported significantly worse mental health care access than did White enrollees. The magnitude of disparities also differed between ethnic groups, ranging from -14.6 percentage points for Native Hawaiian enrollees to -43.6 percentage points for Vietnamese enrollees.
