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

This study investigated the effectiveness of the Nurses Taking on Readiness Measures (N-TORM) intervention in improving disaster preparedness of Asian immigrant residents in New York City. N-TORM is an innovative, nurse-led, household disaster preparedness educational intervention provided to community members to help them create their disaster-related evacuation and communication plans, build disaster supply kits, and understand community resources available to assist residents before, during, and after disasters. The aims of this controlled before-after intervention study were to (a) pilot test the Korean translation of the Household Emergency Preparedness Instrument (K-HEPI), (b) evaluate the effectiveness of N-TORM to increase household disaster preparedness knowledge and behavior, and (c) describe the factors most necessary to maintain and expand N-TORM. Participants in the experimental group (N = 200) demonstrated significantly greater pre-to-post improvement in disaster preparedness compared to those in the control group (N = 199), as measured by the K-HEPI (effect on total General Preparedness scores, β = 1.66, SE = 0.105, p < .001). The Korean community organization that was involved in this study continues to offer N-TORM to its members, demonstrating the intervention's sustainability. Further testing of the K-HEPI and the intervention in longitudinal studies is recommended to explore potential associations between disaster preparedness and outcomes such as survival without rescue, prevention of injury, or acute exacerbations of chronic illnesses. Replicating the intervention across different immigrant populations is essential, and data from these studies can inform policy development to better address the needs of immigrant communities before, during, and after disasters. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT0554478. Hunter College of City University of New York Protocol Record 2022-0542-Hunter, Korean Translation and Validation of the K-HEPI by a Phase 1 Feasibility Study in NYC, is registered and posted on the ClinicalTrials.gov website.
