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

introductionThis study examined how social, economic, and political factors influenced psychological and physical health disparity in Japan during the COVID-19 pandemic.

methodUsing survey data from three surveys from 2020 to 2021, we identified significant associations between well-being and biological, economic, social, and ethico-political dimensions.

resultsKey findings suggest that not only biological factors, but also social, economic, and political factors are essential for the psychosomatic health disparities in static and dynamic analysis. DISCUSSION: This paper proposes the term psychosomatic health by proving the correlation between physical and psychological health disparities.

conclusionAccordingly, communitarian intervention, the multi-dimensional and integrated policy that addresses not only economic needs but also social and political equity/fairness, is required.
