1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Identifying hospitals that disproportionately serve minority and publicly insured patients is important because patients at these hospitals often experience worse outcomes. Studies commonly identify disproportion by using the top decile of hospitals with the greatest proportion of Black discharges nationally. Our study aimed to identify a broader measure that accounts for disproportion by multiple characteristics. Using fee-for-service Medicare data, we classified hospitals as either serving disproportionately or not, examined overlaps in classification, and assessed differences in hospital quality. We found that using a combined measure for any hospitals in the top decile or above a threshold of twice their local healthcare market average of Black, Hispanic, minority, or dual-eligible discharges classified 28.1% (
