Racial disparities in hospitalization and neighborhood deprivation among Medicare beneficiaries.
Article in Health affairs scholar, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Many neighborhoods with concentrated racial and ethnic minority older adult populations experience high neighborhood disadvantage. Yet, to date, no studies have analyzed how neighborhood disadvantage affects the relationship between race and hospitalization among older adults. To fill this gap, we examined if neighborhood disadvantage moderates the relationship between race and hospitalization among older adults in the United States. Medicare claims data from 2018 on 530 962 beneficiary hospitalizations were merged with neighborhood data, and regression models assessed if the Area Deprivation Index (ADI) moderated the association between race and hospitalization. At the highest ADI score, the odds ratio (OR) for hospitalization for Black compared with White beneficiaries was the lowest (OR: 0.96; 95% CI: 0.89-1.04). At the lowest ADI score, the OR for hospitalization for Black compared with White beneficiaries was the highest (OR: 1.19; 95% CI: 1.09-1.29). When Black and White beneficiaries reside in severely deprived areas, the disparity in their outcomes is narrower. However, when they reside in areas with more advantages, White beneficiaries experience better outcomes than Black beneficiaries. Our findings have implications for practice and policy to invest resources in communities to assure health equity.
