Rural-urban comparison of contextual associations with self-reported mental health status.
Article in Health & place, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Ample evidence documents the association between individual-level risk factors and mental health status; relatively less is known about associations between features of the context in which individuals live and their mental health. The objective of this study is to assess differences in associations between contextual characteristics of both rural and urban settings and mental health status measured by the mental health component of the SF-12. Using state-representative data, we observed significant rural/urban differences in the association of mental health status with availability of health care resources but no significant associations in other contextual domains. Lack of overlap in contextual associations suggests that contextual influence operates differently in rural and urban settings and that interventions to improve mental health may not translate across settings.
