Housing cost burden, homeownership, and self-rated health among migrant workers in Chinese cities: The confounding effect of residence duration.
Article in Cities (London, England), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Housing is a critical social determinant of health. Research on the impact of housing on health among migrants is more complex than that of the general population because of migrants' health decline over time: while migrants exhibit a health advantage upon arrival, they gradually lose it as they stay longer in the host city. Existing studies on migrants' housing and health have paid little attention to the confounding effect of residence duration and are thus prone to misleading results. Using data from the 2017 China Migrants Dynamic Survey (CMDS), this study fills in the gap by examining how the incorporation of residence duration alters the relationship of housing cost burden and homeownership with migrant self-rated health (SRH). The study shows that migrant workers with higher housing cost burden and longer residence duration tend to have worse SRH. Incorporating residence duration attenuates the crude association between homeownership and worse SRH. The results imply that the health decline among migrants can be attributed to the discriminatory
