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: Persons with a direct migration background made up a share of around 17% of the total German population in the year 2020. Not much is known about migration-related determinants of health-related quality of life (HrQoL) of persons with direct migration background. This study aimed to analyze the associations between HrQoL, sociodemographic, and migration-related characteristics of persons with direct migration background in Germany. Methods: The sample of this study was based on four waves (2014, 2016, 2018, and 2020) of the migration samples (M1 and M2) of the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). The SF-12 was used to measure HrQoL using its mental (MCS) and physical (PCS) component summary scores. Missing information was replaced by multiple imputation by chained equations with predictive mean matching. Associations between HrQoL and sociodemographic and migration-related characteristics were examined using multilevel mixed-effects linear regressions. Results: The mean MCS and PCS scores of persons with direct migration background( Conclusion: The time since migration to Germany, and the relationship status before migration may be determinants of HrQoL of persons with a direct migration background. Furthermore, connectedness with Germany, disadvantages due to origin and oral ability in the German language, representative of integration in Germany, can be potential determinants of HrQoL. Thus, integration of persons with migration background is crucial for their mental and physical HrQoL.
