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

objectivesThis study examines the potential use of interviewer-rated health (IRH) as a complementary measure of self-rated health (SRH) through a systematic comparison of their components and mortality-predictive powers in the Chinese elderly population.

methodsThis study used a nationwide dataset with more than 12,000 adults aged 65 or older drawn from the 2005 and 2008 waves of the Chinese Longitudinal Health Longevity Survey (CLHLS).

resultsDisability, cognitive function, chronic disease conditions, psychological well-being, and health behaviors influenced both the SRH and IRH of Chinese older adults; these factors, especially disabilities, explained a large portion of the association between SRH and mortality. However, the impact of these factors on the association between IRH and mortality was limited. Furthermore, when both SRH and IRH were included in the analytical models, the association between SRH and mortality disappeared, while the association between IRH and mortality still persisted. DISCUSSION: Although there is some difference between IRH and SRH, IRH captures similar health information as SRH and is strongly predictive of mortality independent of SRH; thus, IRH could be a good supplementary measurement for well-adopted SRH.
