Perceived Financial Vulnerability, Wealth, and Wealth Change: The Health and Retirement Study.
Article in Clinical gerontologist. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesThe 6-item Perceived Financial Vulnerability (PFV) scale assesses awareness and psychological vulnerability regarding finances. Prior findings using the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) identified significant associations of PFV with wealth, demographics, and health status. This study examines the relationship between wealth, changes in wealth, and PFV.
methodsData from HRS respondents were analyzed (
resultsWealth change and baseline wealth were associated with PFV. When controlled for baseline wealth, wealth loss linearly predicted increased PFV.
conclusionsThese findings support the utility of the PFV. Findings underscore the importance of integrating multifaceted financial and demographic information when conceptualizing subjective financial welfare. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Financial wellbeing is crucial in older clients and should be assessed over time. The 6-item PFV effectively evaluates contextual aspects of financial decision-making across socioeconomic statuses, making it valuable for clinical assessments.
