Explaining the Variance in Cardiovascular Health Indicators among Asian Americans: A Comparison of Demographic, Socioeconomic, and Ethnicity.
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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The Asian American (AA) population is the fastest-growing major racial group in the U.S. Typically treated as a monolith in research, disaggregated data show disproportionate cardiovascular disease (CVD) burden among certain AA ethnic groups. This analysis aimed to identify which factors explain variance in cardiovascular health among AA ethnic groups. We analyzed pooled 2010-2018 National Health Interview Survey data from Chinese, Asian Indian, Filipino, and Other Asian adults in the U.S. CVD outcomes of interest were coronary heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. Covariates included sociodemographic characteristics, CVD-related health conditions, and behaviors. Variance explained by sociodemographic, health behaviors, and health conditions were calculated based on the adjusted R-squared from a series of five models for each CVD health outcome. Of the 10,353 AA adults in the sample, 53% identified as female. Compared to the aggregate AA sample and the other ethnic groups, Filipinos had a higher burden of any CVD outcome (5.9%), particularly for coronary heart disease (4.0%). The combination of all predictors explained at most 13% of variance, with sociodemographic characteristics accounting for at least half of the variance explained among all participants. Health behaviors explained a greater amount of additional variance for all CVD outcomes among Asian Indians, including an additional 3.1% for stroke. Inversely, existing health conditions were significant predictors of CVD for all AA ethnic groups compared to Asian Indians. There is heterogeneity in CVD outcomes and related risk factors in AA ethnic groups, emphasizing the need for culturally tailored prevention and intervention strategies.
