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

Central Americans historically have been denied U.S. asylum. From the moment they arrive, they become entangled in a punitive system that criminalizes them through an intricate network of social control sustained by state and private companies. Based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in rural Kansas between 2016 and 2020 and interviews with Maya Guatemalan women and men asylum seekers, we examine the race and gender power dynamics reproduced through the asylum process that mimics the penal system. We examine three encounters with the asylum system: (1) the credible fear interview, (2) cash bonds, and (3) alternatives to detention programs. The asylum process (re)produces a continuum of state control that reflects the punishing tactics of the carceral state, leaving women and men
