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
Women who experience housing instability are at high risk for violence and have disproportionately high rates of emergency department (ED) use. However, little has been done to characterize the violence they experience, or to understand how it may be related to ED use. We recruited homeless and unstably housed women from San Francisco shelters, free meal programs, and single room occupancy (SRO) hotels. We used generalized estimating equations to examine associations between violence and any ED use (i.e., an ED visit for any stated reason) every 6 months for 3 years. Among 300 participants, 44% were African-American, and the mean age was 48 years. The prevalence of violence experienced in the prior 6 months included psychological violence (87%), physical violence without a weapon (48%), physical violence with a weapon (18%), and sexual violence (18%). While most participants (85%) who experienced physical violence with a weapon or sexual violence in the prior 6 months had not visited an ED, these were the only two violence types significantly associated with ED use when all violence types were included in the same model (OR
