Spatial Analysis of Synthetic Clusters of Risk and Resilience in the Wake of the Flint Water Crisis.
Article in Local environment, 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
Natural and anthropogenic disasters often have greater impact on marginalized communities because of structural disinvestment and racism. Impacts may not be uniform across communities; it is important to identify characteristics related to individual- and neighborhood-level resilience in the context of disaster. The Flint Water Crisis (FWC), given its varying, widespread impacts, provides an opportunity to examine these characteristics. Using Speak to Your Health! (STYH) survey data prior to (2013), during (2015), and after (2017) the FWC's onset, a synthetic longitudinal cohort was created, resulting in a cohort of 885 observations (295 per timepoint). Model-based clustering identified trajectory patterns of 4 factors (individual mental health, institutional trust, neighborhood satisfaction, social support). Each individual's cluster membership was mapped, and Getis-Ord Gi* Hot Spot Analysis identified geospatial patterns of cluster concentration. Five clusters were identified with distinct patterns of disaster impact and resilience: stressed; recovery; resilient; resilient-plus; and growth. Hot Spot analysis demonstrated patterns the cluster membership related to neighborhood sociodemographics, including race, SES, and vacancy rates; of note, the growth cluster was concentrated in the poorest and most heavily vacant neighborhoods. These findings have important implications for efforts to reduce the burden of natural and anthropogenic disasters and other community-level traumas. The results highlight the heterogeneity of outcomes within the same community. Mental health factors are particularly vulnerable. This study indicates that with appropriate response and investment, marginalized communities may demonstrate resilience and even growth following community-level trauma.
