Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2026. 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
backgroundFew studies have examined health disparities between Hispanic/Latino and non-Hispanic/Latino individuals experiencing homelessness. Nearly half the population in that State identifies as Hispanic/Latino. As homelessness is increasing nationally, we sought to examine how the Hispanic/Latino is represented among people experiencing homelessness in new Mexico, where homelessness is also increasing.
methodsThis study analyzed data from the 11-county survey in New Mexico of people experiencing homelessness, examining demographic characteristics, disease prevalence, and healthcare access between Hispanic/Latino and non-Hispanic/Latino individuals experiencing homelessness. Adults (≥ 18 years) self-reported demographic, living, and health information. Comparisons used descriptive statistics, proportions with 95% confidence intervals, and prevalence ratios (PRs).
resultsOf 525 interviews, 510 participants (97.1%) reported race/ethnicity and were analyzed. Among these, 193 (37.8%) self-identified as Hispanic/Latino, 342 (67.3%) were male, with median age 43 years (Interquartile Range (IQR) 34–54). Hispanic/Latino participants were significantly younger than non-Hispanic/Latino participants (median age 41 vs 51 years; p < 0.001) and had lower educational attainment (41% vs. 25% did not finish high school). Liver disease was more prevalent among Hispanic/Latino participants (PR = 1.39; 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.0, 1.96). Mental health problems showed no significant differences between groups. Substance use patterns differed: Hispanic/Latino participants reported lower alcohol use (3%), but higher stimulant (27%) and opioid use (32%) compared to White non-Hispanic/Latino participants (4%, 19%, 11%, respectively).
conclusionsSignificant age, health, and substance use disparities exist among Hispanic/Latino individuals experiencing homelessness in New Mexico, highlighting the need for targeted, culturally responsive interventions and further research into healthcare barriers for this vulnerable population.
