A survey of refugee health assessments in the United States.
Article in Journal of immigrant health, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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 conducted a survey among nine geographically dispersed, large metropolitan refugee health programs to estimate the number of U.S. refugee arrivals during 1997 and 1998, the number receiving health assessments, and the percentage of sites offering health services. The nine sites received an estimated 40% of all U.S. refugee arrivals during the study period. Of these refugees, 76% received a health assessment. The completeness of health assessments, including services offered, varied by site; some services were provided by the private sector. Most sites offered services for infectious diseases and vaccinations. While 78% of the sites offered mental health care, but only 33% actually performed mental status examinations. These statistics show that such health services need to be provided on a broader basis and possibly reflect a need to address cultural and language barriers that might be preventing their delivery to this diverse population.
