Current approaches to measuring local racial and ethnic residential segregation in population health studies.
Article in Current epidemiology reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Purpose of review: Segregation has traditionally been measured at the metropolitan area or county level, but a growing number of population health studies have measured segregation at the neighborhood or local level. In this review we highlight the ways local racial and ethnic residential segregation has been measured in recently published population health studies (June 1, 2019-June 30, 2022). Recent findings: We identified 40 local segregation studies based on our search criteria. The majority used racial or ethnic composition to measure segregation, but several additional measures were identified that reflect different dimensions of segregation and the segregation process. Summary: The choice of how best to operationalize segregation should be guided by the historical and geographic context surrounding the population under study. Our findings highlight several options available to support the development of meaningful and useful measures of segregation to study their impact on health inequities across a diverse range of outcomes and settings.
