Mongolian American Health Disparities and Research Gaps: A Systematic Literature Review.
Review in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe Mongolian American population has grown more than eightfold over the past two decades, from 6000 in 2000 to an estimated 50,000 in 2023. Despite this rapid growth, Mongolians remain one of the most understudied Asian American subgroups. Emerging data suggest disproportionately high rates of chronic viral hepatitis and liver cancer in this population, alongside significant barriers to healthcare access, including high uninsured rates, financial hardship, and language and cultural challenges.
objectiveThis systematic literature review aimed to synthesize peer-reviewed and gray literature to identify health disparities and knowledge gaps affecting the Mongolian American community. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: Following Whittemore and Knafl's integrative review methodology, we searched five databases with keywords "Mongolian," "United States," and "Health" on January 27, 2025. Inclusion criteria were studies on Mongolians in the USA published between 1990 and 2025. Two independent reviewers screened articles using Covidence. Quality was assessed using the Standard Quality Assessment Criteria for Evaluating Primary Research Papers, and narrative synthesis was conducted to identify common themes and patterns across studies.
resultsOut of 350 articles identified, three met eligibility criteria. An additional two were identified through reference searches, resulting in a total of five included articles. Three cross-sectional studies analyzed community screening data for hepatitis B and C virus among Mongolians in California and Washington, D.C., and reported 6.2-9.9% HBV and 9.1-9.9% anti-HCV positivity rates. One report found Mongolian Americans in California had the highest poverty rate (24%), lowest homeownership (14%), and low English proficiency (50%) among all other Asian subgroups. A qualitative study of 12 Mongolian women highlighted barriers to culturally and linguistically appropriate perinatal care.
conclusionsDespite significant health and social needs, research on Mongolian Americans is scarce. Findings underscore the urgent need for targeted public health interventions to address high rates of chronic viral hepatitis and improved data collection and disaggregation of this population.
