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

objectivesEmergency supply kits (ESKs) may support disaster-related self-sufficiency and may be important for people with chronic health conditions (CHCs). However, evidence of ESK's effectiveness in supporting self-sufficiency is lacking. This study examined associations between households possessing ESKs and 1) household members leaving home for medicine and 2) individuals with CHCs seeking medical care.

methodsData were collected through a survey distributed to southwest Florida after Hurricane Ian's impact (

resultsESK possession was more common among households with members with CHCs (63%) than households without such members (56%). Overall, regression models revealed no clear association between ESK possession and leaving home for medicine (adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR)=1.27; CI = 0.81-2.02). Analyses restricted to households with individuals with CHCs revealed no clear associations between ESK possession and leaving the home for medicine (aOR= 1.35; CI = 0.81-2.25) or seeking medical care (aOR = 1.07; CI = 0.68-1.68).

conclusionsThis study did not provide evidence that ESKs promote medical self-sufficiency. However, it did not characterize the medication in households' ESKs or the type, duration, and severity of CHCs, and could have had uncontrolled confounding. Characterization of such factors would be important in future studies of ESKs and self-sufficiency among people with CHCs.
