Diverse social environments and 10-year all-cause mortality in a cohort of historically excluded racial/ethnic older adults: A latent class analysis of social integration.
Article in Annals of epidemiology, 2025. 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
purposeThe association between social integration and mortality in older adults from historically excluded groups may not align with the patterns observed in predominately white samples. We modeled latent groups of social integration and their association with 10-year all-cause mortality in a cohort of older adults from historically excluded racial/ethnic groups.
methodsIn a sub-sample of a national cohort study of older adults, we used latent class analysis to model social integration using ten item indicators spanning couple status, network characteristics, and neighborhood and community connections. Using a 3-step process, we estimated the relative odds (OR) of mortality over 10 years given membership in each latent class.
resultsAmong 873 historically excluded racial/ethnic older adults, a four-class solution was optimal given model fit indices, reduced entropy, interpretability, class sizes below 5 % of the sample, and model parsimony. We named these classes "One Family Connection", "Small, Interconnected Family", "Large, Interconnected Family", and "Large, Balanced, Friends and Family". Contrary to our hypothesis, there were no differences in the odds of mortality across latent classes.
conclusionOlder adults from historically excluded racial/ethnic groups have diverse social environments that, when modeled holistically, include aspects that may confer resilience against the risk of social isolation.
