Health Status and Chronic Disease Burden of the Homeless Population: An Analysis of Two Decades of Multi-Institutional Electronic Medical Records.
Article in Journal of health care for the poor and underserved, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Using a multi-institutional EMR registry, we extracted housing status and evaluated the presence of several important comorbidities in order to describe the demographics and comorbidity burden of persons experiencing homelessness in northeast Ohio and compare this to non-homeless individuals of varying socioeconomic position. Of 1,974,766 patients in the EMR registry, we identified 15,920 (0.8%) as homeless, 351,279 (17.8%) as non-homeless and in the top quintile of area deprivation index (ADI), and 1,607,567 (81.4%) as non-homeless and in the lower four quintiles of area deprivation. The comorbidity burden was highest in the homeless population with depression (48.1%), anxiety (45.8%), hypertension (44.2%), cardiovascular disease (18.4%), and hepatitis (18.1%) among the most prevalent conditions. We conclude that it is possible to identify homeless individuals and document their comorbidity burden using a multi-institutional EMR registry, in order to guide future interventions to address the health of the homeless at the health-system and community level.
