Social Determinants of Self-reported Health Among Population in Republic of Macedonia - Results from a Case-control Study.
Article in Materia socio-medica, 2014. 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
introductionStudying self-reported health is considered an indicator for morbidity and mortality that may be used in primary health care to detect poor health in certain population groups that predicts health care utilization. GOAL: The goal of the survey is to assess the socioeconomic self-rated health gradient and to describe contribution of behavioral risk factors to this gradient among population in Republic of Macedonia. MATERIAL AND
methodsData is collected through a "nested case-control study", conducted in the period March - December, 2013. "Cases" are households with TB patient(s) registered in the period July, 2012 - June, 2013 and "controls" are households randomly chosen in cases' immediate vicinity.
resultsThe total study population is 562 households with total of 2720 respondents. Self-rated health was reported as excellent or good by only half of the respondents, with slightly less positive answers among cases compared to controls and evident differences in responses for poor or extreme difficulties in everyday life. Positive association was found between poor rated health and long-standing diseases and education was associated with poor self-rated health. Adding questions on mobility, self-care, pain, cognition, interpersonal activities and affect has only reaffirmed the findings, with statistically significant differences among study groups along all six dimensions.
conclusionThe ease of use of simple questions to ask for self-rated health makes it an extremely beneficial tool in health care planning.
