Trends and dynamics of homelessness in Hong Kong: evidence from population survey in 2015 and 2021.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 examines trends in homelessness in Hong Kong, comparing data from surveys conducted in 2015 and 2021. The research aims to identify trends and contributing factors, explore context-specific factors, analyze the relationship between housing, employment, and homelessness, and determine factors influencing its duration. Data from the H.O.P.E. Hong Kong 2015 and Hong Kong Homeless Census 2021 surveys were analyzed, encompassing demographic information, conditions of homelessness, and social relationships, health, and personal behavior. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and ANOVA analyses were employed. The study identifies significant differences in the duration of homelessness based on demographics and employment status. Individuals with disabilities, those unemployed for longer periods, and CSSA recipients experience longer durations. Regular contact with family and friends was associated with shorter durations of homelessness. The study emphasizes the importance of improving access to public housing, addressing employment challenges, and providing support services to the homeless population.
