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
Measuring immigrant health selection is crucial for understanding population health in immigrant-receiving countries. Recently, studies have measured health selection using respondents' perceptions of their health in comparison with those in their home countries. Yet we do not know how well this measure captures health selection. Using the New Immigrant Survey, the authors visualize respondents' self-reported levels of health selection stratified by self-rated health and by sending country. The visualization indicates that immigrants from the same country who rate their health the same still give very different answers when asked to compare their health with those in their home countries. These variations were observed for immigrants from all top five sending countries and at every level of self-reported health but are much larger among those who rate their health less favorably. Overall, the present findings signal that U.S. immigrants have highly heterogeneous perceptions of how selected they are.
