Health effects at the intersection of climate change and structural racism in the United States: A scoping review.
Review in The journal of climate change and health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Introduction: Climate change and structural racism are significant threats to public health and health equity. The impacts of each individual problem on human health and well-being have been documented; what is less known is the impact of the intersection of climate change and structural racism on health. Purpose: To conduct a scoping review to examine the emerging knowledge related to the impact of climate change and structural racism on the health and well-being of racialized minority groups in the United States. Methods: A scoping review was conducted using the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and PubMed, CINAHL, and PsychInfo databases. Two searches were conducted between 11/2021 and 7/2023. Data were extracted and analyzed; and themes were identified. Results: Of 148 full-text reviews, 28 were included in the final synthesis. Texas was the US state most represented in research studies. Black/African American and Hispanic/Latino populations were the most discussed and studied populations. The overarching theme identified was Conclusion: Climate justice, environmental justice and structural racism have individual impacts on health; however, they are inextricably linked and have wide-ranging impacts on health and well-being. Implications for education, clinical practice, policy and advocacy, and research are outlined. Health providers have an opportunity to partner with disinvested communities to develop realistic strategies to create more resilient, vibrant communities that will lead to improved health outcomes.
