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
Mental health and alcohol problems are significant public health concerns amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Housing instability and symptoms of fatigue are understudied aspects of the pandemic. This study examined history of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), history of COVID-19 infection, and housing instability as correlates of fatigue, anxiety, and depression symptoms. Data were drawn from 250 adults enrolled in an online survey within the NIAAA COVID-19 Pandemic Impact on Alcohol Study in between April 6 and June 2 of 2022. Participants completed self-report measures of housing stability, fatigue, and mental health symptoms. Multivariable analyses controlling for age, sex, race, ethnicity, and household income were conducted. Individuals with a history of AUD reported higher mental fatigue, anxiety symptoms, and depressive symptoms when compared to those with no history of AUD. Individuals with "other" housing arrangements (not renting or owning) reported higher mental fatigue, pandemic fatigue, anxiety symptoms, and depressive symptoms relative to homeowners. Individuals who worried about not having a place to live in the past 6 months reported higher physical fatigue, mental fatigue, anxiety symptoms, and depressive symptoms when compared to individuals without housing worry. History of COVID-19 infection was neither associated with mental health nor fatigue symptoms. Housing instability, as captured by housing worry and having "other" housing arrangements, was associated with greater fatigue and mental health problems, even after controlling for household income. Housing instability uniquely contributed to mental health symptoms, warranting further research and targeted prevention and intervention efforts.
