Unequal Health Outcomes and Deprivation: A Regional Analysis of Tribal and Non-Tribal Districts in Odisha.
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. An erratum has been issued. 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
The present study tries to examine spatial health disparities between tribal and non-tribal districts in Odisha, identifying key socio-economic, infrastructural, and behavioural factors driving these inequities. Using a composite Health Deprivation Index based on thirteen health indicators the analysis draws on secondary data from NFHS-5 (2019-21), Annual Health Survey (2012-13), and HMIS (2017-19). The findings reveal severe health deprivation clustered in socio-economically marginalized, predominantly tribal, and geographically isolated districts like Balangir, Nabarangapur, Kandhamal, Malkangiri, and Nuapada. Transitional districts such as Koraput and Sundargarh show a dual burden of persistent tribal health inequities alongside rising non-communicable disease risks. The study highlights the inadequacy of uniform health interventions in addressing these disparities and calls for geographically differentiated, context and region specific strategies, prioritizing maternal-child healthcare, sanitation, female education, and culturally tailored behaviour change initiatives.
