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

backgroundSocial determinants of health (SDOH) affect cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in Black adults, but there is limited knowledge on how SDOH dimensions are linked to CVD risk factors across different Black groups. The study examined differences in SDOH dimensions and CVD risk factors among Black ethnic groups, hypothesizing stronger associations for US-born adults.

methodsUsing the National Health Interview Surveys 2013 to 2018, we categorized 24 380 non-Hispanic Black adults by birthplace into 3 groups: US born, Caribbean born, and African born. Thirteen SDOH variables were reduced to 4 indices (standard of living, neighborhood cohesion, socioeconomic advantage, and health care access) using principal component analysis. Associations between these indices and the prevalence of 3 self-reported CVD risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol) were assessed using modified Poisson regression models.

resultsAmong US-born Black adults, all SDOH indices were significantly associated with hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol (

conclusionsThe relationship between CVD risk factors and SDOH indices varied across different Black groups and was not consistent for all indices and risk factors. These distinct associations underscore the importance of tailored interventions to address context-specific CVD risk factors and social determinants to protect cardiovascular health.
