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

backgroundResidential segregation is a key social determinant of health. An increasing number of studies have examined the impact of residential segregation on cardiometabolic health among ethnic and racial minority populations, including Asian immigrants. This study aimed to conduct a scoping review of existing literature investigating the relationship between residential segregation and cardiometabolic health outcomes, including obesity, hypertension, and diabetes, among Asian immigrants residing in Western countries.

methodsPeer-reviewed articles that were published by May 31st, 2023 and examined the relationships of residential segregation with obesity, hypertension, or diabetes among Asian immigrants were searched in the PubMed database. A narrative synthesis was used to summarize the findings regarding the relationships between residential segregation and cardiometabolic outcomes.

resultsOf the total 1,334 records screened, 12 studies met the inclusion criteria and were thus included in this review. Overall, the majority of included studies reported nonsignificant associations between residential segregation and obesity or hypertension. However, residential segregation appears to have mixed effects on diabetes among Asian immigrants.

conclusionsFindings suggest that residential segregation may have different effects on various cardiometabolic health outcomes among Asian immigrants. More future studies are needed to elucidate the effects of residential segregation on cardiometabolic health among Asian immigrant subgroups.
