The Role of Self-Classified Race/Ethnicity, Insurance Status, and Hospital Type in Benign Hysterectomy.
Article in Journal of women's health (2002), 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
objectiveTo explore the associations of self-classified race/ethnicity, insurance status, and hospital type with updated appropriateness ratings of hysterectomy among premenopausal patients. STUDY
designThe study population consisted of patients 18-44 years of age who received a hysterectomy for benign and non-obstetric gynecological conditions between October 2014 and December 2017. Structured and unstructured data were abstracted from electronic medical records (EMR). We estimated weighted prevalence differences (PD
resultsAmong the 1,613 hysterectomies analyzed, 26.5% received an inappropriate rating, 15.8% an ambiguous rating, and 57.7% an appropriate rating. Patients with Medicaid had 17.2% (95% CI = -22.3%, -12.1%) lower prevalence of inappropriate ratings compared with patients with private insurance. Surgeries at non-academic medical centers had 20.4% (95% CI = 17.0%, 23.8%) higher prevalence of inappropriate ratings compared with surgeries at academic medical centers. In sensitivity analyses, among surgeries with ≥2 preoperative notes from the primary surgeon, the prevalence of an inappropriate rating was similar between non-academic and academic medical centers (PD
conclusionsAssociations between insurance status, hospital type, and inappropriate rating may be partially explained by EMR completeness. EMR completeness, provider documentation, and data management are important determinants of equitable clinical care. Additional research to improve assessment of appropriate hysterectomy care and efforts to improve EMR completeness are important next steps in gynecological research.
