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

To investigate whether socioeconomic status is associated with the self-rated health (SRH) status among Chinese.A cross sectional study including a national sample was conducted among Chinese adults in 2008. In total, 3225 participants were selected by a multistage cluster sampling method. Both general self-rated health and time-comparative self-rated health were measured by a standardized questionnaire. Logistic regression models were used to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) (95% confidence intervals, CIs) of occupation with SRH by occupation, and adjusted for age, sex, education, area, marriage, smoking, drinking, and health status.Overall, 34.4% of study participants reported "good" on the general SRH (male: 35.8%; female: 32.9%) and 26.2% reported "good" on the time-comparative SRH (male: 27.2%; female: 25.3%). The prevalence of "good" general SRH varied from 28.8% to 52.8% and the prevalence of time-comparative SHR varied from 21.7% to 33.9% in different occupations. The adjusted OR (Odd Ratio) for "good" on the general SRH was 1.35 (95% CI: 1.20-1.52) for the occupation of civil servants, 2.23 (95% CI: 1.96-2.54) for farmers, and 1.15 (95%CI: 1.01-1.31) for businessmen. The full adjusted OR of "good" on the time-comparative SRH was 1.36 (95% CI: 1.17-1.58) for students and was 1.25 (95% CI: 1.10-1.42) for civil servants.In presented study, 34.4% of the participants reported "good" on the general SRH, and 26.2% participants reported "good" on the time-comparative SRH. The prevalence of "good" general SRH and "good" time-comparative SRH varied among occupations.
