Primary Care Engagement and Post-Hospitalization Outcomes Among Cape Verdean Adults.
Article in Journal of primary care & community health. 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
The Cape Verdean diaspora in the United States is growing, yet Cape Verdean adults remain underrepresented in health services research. We retrospectively analyzed 583 hospitalized Cape Verdean adults admitted to a tertiary care center from 2017 to 2023, and compared their post-discharge outcomes and healthcare utilization with other racial and ethnic groups. Sequential nested regression models using inverse-probability weighting assessed how demographic, clinical, and community-level characteristics using the Environmental Justice Index (EJI) mediated the observed differences. We found that Cape Verdean adults had uniquely high primary care engagement, a difference which was magnified after EJI adjustment. They also had lower rates of specialist visits and higher emergency department use, but these associations attenuated or reversed after adjustment for clinical factors and EJI. These findings suggest that care continuity is strong within this population, potentially due to robust Community Health Center engagement, but socioeconomic and structural factors may hinder specialist access and drive emergency care use.
