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

backgroundHistorical redlining may contribute to racial inequities in cardiovascular health. Longitudinal studies are needed to investigate the influence of historical redlining on blood pressure (BP) and its changes over time, and to understand the role contemporary residential segregation plays in this relationship.

methodsUsing the MESA (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis), this study examined associations between redlining, measured using 1930s Home Owners' Loan Corporation grades, and repeated BP measures. We used race/ethnicity-stratified 3-level mixed-effects models to assess associations between redlining and average BP, as well as changes in BP, across 6 follow-up examinations from 2000 to 2018, accounting for time-varying sociodemographic and health factors.

resultsThe sample included 4774 adults with a mean baseline age of 61.9 years; the racial/ethnic composition was 26.7% Black, 23.9% Hispanic, 13.3% Chinese, and 36.1% White. Independent of sociodemographic factors, Black participants in redlined neighborhoods graded

conclusionsThese findings demonstrated that historical discriminatory policies may have a harmful impact on BP outcomes among Black adults in the United States.
