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

backgroundTo reduce potential health disparities, it is critical to recognize health determinants among socioeconomically disadvantaged women. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the determinants of self-rated health in socioeconomically disadvantaged women supported by a Relief Foundation (RF).

methodThis cross-sectional study was conducted on women in Iran who were supported by a RF as an aided institute. We collected demographic and socioeconomic data, as well as information on physical, mental, and social health and self-rated health status. Data analysis was performed by random forest, classification and regression tree (CART) techniques, and gamma regression.

resultsThe mean age of the 556 included disadvantaged women was 42.8 ± 12.4 years, and the mean self-rated health status was 66.5. Physical health was the most important factor affecting self-rated health. In disadvantaged women with physical problem, nonacademic and academic educated had significantly greater health perceptions than illiterate individuals (1.267, 95% CI: 1.106, 1.451) and (1.666, 95% CI: 1.251, 2.217) respectively. Also, anxiety and stress were both significant predictors of self-rated health status in disadvantaged women with physical health problem (0.765, 95% CI: 0.653, 0.896), and (0.872, 95% CI: 0.762, 0.999) respectively.

conclusionThe study of disadvantaged women revealed a significant influence of physical health on their overall sense of well-being. The findings suggest that education and anxiety have impacts on self-rated health of both diseased and healthy women. To improve the well-being of disadvantaged women, providing accessible physical and mental health support, along with expanding educational opportunities, would be beneficial.
