How Much Money Is Enough? Poverty and Health in Older People.
Article in The journal of nutrition, health & aging, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
objectivesWe examined the relationship between absolute income, adequacy of disposable income, and self-rated health among participants aged 60 years and over.
designCross sectional study.
settingCommunity living older people in Hong Kong.
participantsOlder people aged 60 years and over in five districts in Hong Kong. MEASUREMENTS: Data from a cross sectional survey of age friendly characteristics across five districts of Hong Kong carried out using stratified random sampling across a broad range of socioeconomic attributes.
resultsSelf-rated health showed a gradient for both absolute and adequacy of disposable income. The OR for the association between having just enough, or insufficient disposable income and poor health was higher: 2.0 and 3.6 respectively, and higher than that for absolute income (OR 1.8), and remained significant after adjustment for absolute income. No association between absolute income and self-rated health was observed among women. These findings suggest that adequacy of disposable income provide a stronger association with self-rated health compared with absolute income among older people aged 60 years and over, particularly for women. The absolute income corresponding to what is considered adequate disposable income lies between HK$4000-10000.
conclusionAdequacy of disposable income may be a better indicator than absolute income for older people in examining the relationship with health outcomes, particularly for older women.
