Beyond Supported Housing: Correlates of Improvements in Quality of Life Among Homeless Adults with Mental Illness.
Trial report in The Psychiatric quarterly, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe goal of supported housing, aside from exiting homelessness, is to improve overall quality of life. The contribution of factors that enhance quality of life in supported housing programs, beyond housing itself, have not been empirically identified.
methodsFive-year follow-up data from two arms of a randomized trial comparing case management with and without housing vouchers (n = 278) were examined to identify correlates of improved quality of life, beyond housing resources.
resultsAccess to a housing contributed to 4% of the variance in improved quality of life. Improvement in psychiatric symptoms, alcohol and drug use, employment, total income, and social support were associated with an additional 34-43% of variance in improved quality of life above and beyond housing.
conclusionImprovements in quality of life were more strongly associated with improvements in mental health and other aspects of social well-being than housing alone.
