Housing status, mortgage debt and financial burden as barriers to health among older adults in the U.S.
Article in Housing and society, 2022. 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
We examine relations between housing status, mortgage, financial burden, and healthy aging among older U.S. adults. We combine cross-sectional data from 2012 to 2014 Health and Retirement Study cohorts. Using regression models, we examined associations between owners and renters, mortgage and non-mortgage holders, financial strain, and difficulty paying bills, and poor self-rated health (SRH), heart condition (HC) and hospitalization (past two years). We find that compared to owners, renters had greater likelihood of poor SRH and hospitalization. Regardless of tenure, financial strain was associated with greater likelihood of poor SRH, HC and hospitalization, while difficulty paying bills was associated with poor SRH and HC. Mortgage holders had lower likelihood of poor SRH. Accounting for mortgage status, financial strain was associated with greater likelihood of poor SRH, HC and hospitalization, while difficulty paying bills was associated with poor SRH and HC. Associations between tenure or mortgage status and health were not modified by either financial burden factors. We conclude that there need to be more robust and inclusive programs that assist older populations with housing could improve self-rated health, with particular attention to renters, mortgage holders and those experiencing financial burden.
