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

introductionPeople experiencing homelessness (PEH) often live in adverse and changing environments and have high rates of mental illness and social exclusion, factors that could influence information processing. However, it is unknown whether these conditions could be related to sensory processing problems.

objectivesAnalyse sensory processing in PEH. METHODOLOGY: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 150 participants (mean age of 47.43 ± 10.94 years), using the Adult/Adolescent Sensory Profile and a sociodemographic questionnaire.

resultsPEH aged 18-64 showed significantly higher scores in low registration (M = 36.9), sensory sensitivity (M = 41.1) and sensation avoiding (M = 45.5) compared to the control group ( DISCUSSION: These results may be linked to factors such as chronic exposure to unpredictable and stressful situations, as well as to the presence of diverse mental health issues.

conclusionIt is important to consider the sensory characteristics of this population when designing person-centered interventions, in order to reduce social isolation and promote self-regulation strategies, environmental adaptation and greater occupational participation.
