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

Many older homeless adults have recently stayed with family or friends, yet little is understood about these experiences. We conducted a multimethod qualitative study of older unhoused adults in Oakland, California. First, we conducted in-depth interviews among older adults experiencing homelessness with recent stays with a housed family member or friend (n=46), hosts (n=19), and program key informants (n=11). Second, we developed thematic summaries in the form of character-based composite stories, which were presented to a Council of Elders with lived experiences of homelessness, to explore reactions, referred to as ground-truthing, a form of participatory data analysis. Predominantly, participants were African American men. Barriers included structural factors (discrimination), policy (lease restrictions), community (violence), interpersonal factors (power dynamics), and individual factors (health problems). Factors enhancing stays included inter-generational support and leveraging resources. Ground-truthing discussions reinforced and expanded upon findings (e.g., importance of neighborhood identity, training needs, how self-improvement affects readiness to live with others).
