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 whether housing instability-inclusive of eviction, homelessness, moving in with others, moving for cost reasons, or frequent moves-is associated with mental health among renters in the aftermath of the Great Recession of 2007-09. STUDY
designA panel survey study.
methodsWe used data from the Michigan Recession and Recovery Study (2009-10, 2011 and 2013), a population-representative sample of working-aged adults, and logistic regression with propensity score weights to examine the association between housing instability over a year and a half and anxiety attack or depression symptoms at follow-up.
resultsRespondents with any housing instability were 14 percentage points more likely to have had a recent anxiety attack, and those who had moved for cost reasons were 16 percentage points more likely. Respondents who experienced eviction were significantly more likely to meet criteria for major or minor depression at follow-up, by 13 percentage points.
conclusionsPrior evidence of an association between housing instability and mental health is supported by these findings, which are robust to potential confounders, including financial and life shocks, housing quality, and neighborhood poverty concentration.
