Comprehensive assessment of health disparities in tribal and non-tribal population in India: a sex- and age-stratified cross-sectional study.

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
Background: Health disparities and glycemic risk among tribal and non-tribal populations in India remain poorly characterized particularly in the context of socio-demographic, behavioral, cultural, and clinical aspects. This study aimed to comprehensively assess various health parameters and to evaluate clinical predictors associated with cardiovascular burden to assess glycemic status in tribal and non-tribal adults. Methods: We conducted a community-based cross-sectional study across 33 districts of Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. Participants were stratified by sex and age. Anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, and biochemical parameters including HbA1c, lipid profile, liver and renal function tests, and micronutrients were assessed. For comparison between groups non-parametric Mann-Whitney Results: Among 1,720 participants, significant socio-demographic and behavioral differences were noted, with notably higher illiteracy rates (47.6%) and increased tobacco (30.3%) and alcohol consumption (8.4%) among tribal populations (all Conclusion: Tribal and non-tribal populations exhibit distinct sex- and age-specific health patterns, reflecting the coexistence of persistent undernutrition and an ongoing cardiovascular transition. These observations highlight the importance of developing population-specific, age-stratified screening frameworks and targeted prevention strategies to address emerging metabolic risk across diverse community settings. Such tailored approaches are essential to promote equitable and precision-oriented public health strategies.
