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
objectiveTo examine the role of race, sex, arrest history, and psychiatric diagnoses in duration of shelter tenure and housing outcomes for patients in transitional shelters.
methodsThe authors performed a three-year retrospective chart review of Massachusetts Department of Mental Health (DMH) records for individuals residing in three DMH transitional homeless shelters from 2013 to 2015.
resultsRace was not predictive of length of stay, initial disposition, or housing status at three to five-year follow-up. Arrest history negatively predicted initial housing placement, and diagnosis of substance use disorder predicted homelessness at follow-up. There were no differences by race in arrest history or diagnosis of substance use disorder.
conclusionsRace was not a factor in duration of shelter tenure, or in securing or maintaining housing following shelter stay. Arrest history and lifetime substance use disorder were associated with more negative outcomes following transitional shelter stay.
