Integrating spatial analysis with census data to unravel the complex interaction between socio-economic variables, the built environment and multiple housefires in a predominantly rural state.

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
introductionHousefires can cause devastating injuries, disproportionately affecting low socio-economic communities. Applying geographic information system and spatial analysis, we examined the association between housefires and socio-economic variables from the area deprivation index (ADI) and social vulnerability index.
methodsPatients who sustained a burn injury from a housefire and were admitted to our burn unit between 2008 and 2023 were identified from our burn registry. Spatial binary logistic regression estimated the associations between social vulnerability factors and census tract housefires.
resultsMultiple social vulnerability factors were associated with housefires with the final model, including fourth quartile of ADI (OR=5.9), percentage of black residents (OR=4.9) and mobile home residences (OR=2.5) compared with the first quartiles (p<0.05).
conclusionMultiple housefires occurring in a census tract are associated with social vulnerabilities. Identifying census tracts with higher ADI, black resident ratios and mobile home ratios can help focus community interventions on high-risk areas. Further studies are needed to evaluate and refine the model and determine the current model's predictive ability.
