The Cumulative Burden of Social Risk Factors and 10-Year Change in Quality of Life.

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
backgroundSocial risk factors are linked to adverse health outcomes, but their total impact on long-term quality of life is obscure. We hypothesized that a higher burden of social risk factors is associated with greater decline in quality of life over 10 years.
methodsWe examined associations between social risk factors count and decline >5 points in (i) physical component summary, and (ii) mental component summary scores from the Short Form-12 among Black and White participants in the Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke study (n = 14 401).
resultsFor physical component summary, White participants with 1 social risk factor had relative risk (RR) for decline of 1.14 [95% confidence intervals (CI): 1.07-1.12]. Those with ≥2 social risk factors had RR of 1.26 [95% CI: 1.17-1.35], after adjusting for baseline demographics, health behaviors, medical conditions, medications, and physiological variables. Black participants with 1 social risk factor had RR of 1.03 [95% CI: 0.93-1.15]. Those with ≥2 social risk factors had RR of 1.24 [95% CI: 1.13-1.36]. For mental component summary, White participants with 1 social risk factor had RR for decline of 1.19 [95% CI: 1.04-1.37]. Those with ≥2 social risk factors had RR of 1.47 [95% CI: 1.28-1.68]. Black participants with 1 social risk factor had RR of 1.18 [95% CI: 0.96-1.45]. Those with ≥2 social risk factors had RR of 1.38 [95% CI: 1.14-1.66].
conclusionsMore social risk factors increased the risk of decline of quality of life for Black and White individuals, especially impacting mental health.
