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

objectiveTo evaluate how the communities of newly registered 340B Disproportionate Share Hospitals (DSHs), child sites, and contract pharmacies have changed over time on key socioeconomic measures. STUDY SETTING/

designSerial cross-sectional analysis from 2010 to 2022 examining yearly change in Social Deprivation Index (SDI). DATA SOURCES/ANALYTIC SAMPLE: 340B DSHs, child sites, and contract pharmacies were identified in the Office of Pharmacy Affairs and Information System and linked to socioeconomic measures by ZIP code.

findingsSeven hundred and seventy five newly registered 340B DSHs, 29,475 child sites, and 48,214 contract pharmacies were included in the analysis. The SDI of communities with newly registered DSHs remained stable during the study period (median 62). By contrast, the SDI of communities with newly registered child sites decreased from a median of 59 in 2010 to 53 in 2022 (-0.18 centiles per year on linear regression, p < 0.001), and the SDI of communities with newly registered contract pharmacies decreased from a median of 72 in 2010 to 53 in 2022 (-0.69 centiles per year on linear regression, p < 0.001), suggesting expansion into areas with lower social deprivation over time.

conclusions340B DSH hospitals have registered new child sites and contract pharmacies in increasingly wealthy areas.
