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

objectivesNeighborhood adversity can erode residents' well-being, including life satisfaction. Higher perceived neighborhood quality may be an avenue through which low neighborhood adversity is associated with elevated life satisfaction. Despite historical and ongoing racial residential segregation, pathways from neighborhood adversity and perceived neighborhood quality to life satisfaction remain underexplored in African American adults.

methodsThe present cross-sectional study examines the indirect pathway from neighborhood adversity to life satisfaction through five aspects of perceived neighborhood quality (overall quality, sense of community, social embeddedness, perceived crime, and neighborhood satisfaction).

resultsNeighborhood adversity was indirectly related to life satisfaction via neighborhood satisfaction and perceived crime. In contrast, overall perceived neighborhood quality, sense of community, and social embeddedness were associated with life satisfaction but were unrelated to neighborhood adversity in adjusted analyses. DISCUSSION: These findings suggest neighborhood adversity is linked to life satisfaction in part via residents' appraisals of neighborhood safety, physical environment, and resources.
