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
Background: Education is a recognised social determinant of health and interacts with other determinants including employment and income. International migration may disrupt these interactions. Education in Chile reflects wider socioeconomic inequalities and in the last decade, it has welcomed an increasing number of migrants. Objective: To analyse education as a social determinant of health among international migrants and locals between 2013 and 2022. Methods: Observational cross-sectional study based on five versions of the CASEN survey. Education, employment, and income were analysed in relation to healthcare needs for both populations and logistic regression models were estimated for each year. For 2022, the interactions between education and employment were explored in relation to healthcare needs. Results: International migrants showed a higher education level and employment rate than Chileans, and a smaller proportion reported healthcare needs. After adjusting for demographic and socioeconomic factors, locals aged 19-25 and 26-59 were more likely to report healthcare needs compared to international migrants across multiple years. The effects of education, employment, and income on healthcare needs among locals and international migrants showed fluctuating ORs without marked trends. In 2022, significant differences in healthcare needs were observed among migrants and locals based on interactions between education and employment, with non-overlapping confidence intervals particularly among unemployed, less-educated youth, middle-aged migrants with incomplete basic education, and older individuals. Conclusions: This study provides an overview of education as a social determinant of health among international migrants and locals for the last decade and call for targeted in-depth analyses on the topic.
