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

Introduction The living situation of individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) has evolved throughout the years and ranges from living at home with family caregivers to group homes to independent living arrangements. Living situations can affect access to care and thus healthcare utilization seen by healthcare encounters for individuals with ID. Methods The researchers conducted a chart review of 112 patients to assess demographics, living situations, and healthcare encounters between 2019 and 2021. Living situation categories included independent, biological family, group home, home with other support, and others. Statistical analyses were conducted using R version 4.2.1 (The R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria). Univariable analyses consisted of the Shapiro-Wilk test of normality, Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test, and pairwise Wilcoxon rank sum test with multiple comparisons correction using the Bonferroni method. Statistical testing for multivariable analysis included the Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test, Spearman's rank correlation, and the negative binomial model. Results Results showed a statistically significant difference in median total encounter value between independently living individuals with ID compared to all other living situations, Χ
