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

introductionApproximately 132,000 Afghans have resettled in the United States since the 1980s and are now aging. As older adults, sociocultural factors influence health and health-related behaviors. This study aimed to explore older Afghan refugee women's perceptions of individual and sociocultural factors of health and health care experiences.

methodsA focused ethnography methodology was conducted with 27 semi-structured interviews with older Afghan refugee women, family members, and community key informants in Southern California. Recorded interviews were transcribed and analyzed using inductive thematic analysis.

resultsFive themes were identified as key to health promotion in the post-migration setting: (a) health promotion through Islam, (b) the centrality of family, (c) ongoing stressors that impact health, (d) needing support in navigating health services, and (e) miscommunication leading to mistrust of health care providers. DISCUSSION: Health interventions should consider social and cultural contexts and faith-based and family-centered approaches when addressing older Afghan refugee women's long-term health and well-being.
