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

Chinese migrant workers often face significant health-related social inequalities, particularly in housing, in urban China. However, there is limited research investigating the health impacts of housing inequalities among migrant workers. We examined the accommodation types associated with the prevalence of diarrhea among migrant workers in urban China. We used a nationwide survey data to investigate the overall housing conditions and applied multilevel logistic regression models to analyze the association between diarrhea and housing types. The findings highlight that the prevalence of diarrhea among migrant workers is significantly associated with housing types rather than neighborhood or income levels. Compared with living in private rental properties, migrants living in government-subsidized properties have significantly increased odds of reporting diarrhea episodes (OR = 1.41; 95% CI 1.23-1.61; p < 0.001). This study indicated the need to address the quality and maintenance of housing infrastructure rather than ownership status alone.
