Understanding the Influence of Income Inequality and Violent Crime on Police Fatal Shootings in U.S. Counties: 2015-2022.
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
We analyzed data from Mapping Police Violence and the Washington Post, including 7,082 fatal police shootings in 3,125 counties between 2015-2022. We employed negative binomial regression models (NBRG) to estimate the association between income inequality and fatal shootings by race/ethnicity. All models controlled for county population density (population per square mile), age distribution, racial composition, and violent crime rates. We controlled for year and clustered the regression standard errors at the county level. On average at the county level, 0.3 (SD: 0.6) per 10,000 of the White population, 4.6 (SD: 37.4) per 10,000 of the Black population, and 0.8 (SD: 2.6) per 10,000 of the Hispanic population have been fatally shot by police, with an overall average of 0.20 (SD: 0.5) per 10,000 population. Regression findings indicated a strong association between income inequality and fatal police shootings, while violent crimes, and county racial composition were additional predictors. Policymakers must prioritize structural reforms and equitable resource allocation to reduce policing disparities and prevent unnecessary loss of life.
