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

Korean American older adults face challenges in accessing healthcare due to affordability and culturally distinct health beliefs. Many turn to traditional complementary and alternative medicine (TCAM) to address their health needs, yet research on TCAM use among this population remains limited. This study examined individual- and geographic-level factors associated with TCAM use using the data from the Study of Older Korean Americans (
