Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Access to Transportation Among Persons with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundLack of access to reliable transportation is a barrier to utilizing healthcare and other resources related to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Little research has evaluated race/ethnicity-based differences in access to reliable transportation among persons with T2DM. PURPOSE: To examine whether access to reliable transportation for persons with T2DM differed by race/ethnicity.
methodsAnalysis was conducted among persons with T2DM using 2022 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data. The outcome was access to reliable transportation (yes/no) for medical appointments, meetings, work, or getting things needed for daily living in the last year. The independent variable was race/ethnicity (White, Black/African American, Asian, American Indian or Alaskan Native (AI/AN), Hispanic, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, or multi-racial). Weighted logistic regression models examined the association between access to reliable transportation and race/ethnicity controlling for covariates.
resultsPersons with T2DM (n = 24,964) who identified as Black (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 1.42 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.10, 1.84), AI/AN (AOR = 2.03 (95% CI = 1.22, 3.36), or multi-racial (AOR = 1.99 (95% CI = 1.18, 3.5) were significantly more likely to indicate they did not have reliable access to transportation in the past year compared to whites. Persons who were females, older, married, had higher income, employed, no mobility issues, no depression, and rated their health status fair to very good were significantly less likely to report transportation issues.
conclusionsAccess to reliable transportation may differ by race/ethnicity among persons with T2DM. Initiatives are needed to improve racially/ethnically equitable access to transportation for people with T2DM.
