Demographic inequities and cumulative environmental burdens within communities near superfund sites on Long Island, New York.
Article in Health & place, 2025. 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
Nassau and Suffolk Counties of Long Island, New York are densely populated and contain 34 federally-designated and 449 state-designated Superfund sites, potentially exposing communities to toxic releases. We conducted a distributive justice analysis assessing proximity to Superfund sites, community socio-demographics, and other environmental burdens. Socio-demographic and environmental variables for 665 census tracts were obtained from the United States Census and Environmental Protection Agency's Environmental Justice Screening and Mapping Tool. Hierarchical Bayesian spatial Poisson regression models evaluated the relationship between socio-demographic and environmental variables and counts of Superfund sites per census tract. Analyses were further stratified by county and site type (Federal versus State). A 10% increase in low-income residents was associated with a 47% increase in Superfund sites (Risk Ratio [RR]: 1.47; 95% credible interval (CI): 1.20-1.81). A 10% increase in Hispanic/Latino residents was associated with a 20% increase (RR: 1.20; 95%CI: 1.02-1.42). Higher PM
