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

objectiveTo estimate the prevalence and factors associated with poor self-assessed health among Brazilian school-aged adolescents aged 13 to 17 years.

methodsCross-sectional study using data from the 2019 National School Health Survey (PeNSE). Crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (APR) were estimated by logistic regression. Analyses were performed in Stata 16.

resultsFactors associated with poor self-rated health were: being male (APR 0.75; 95%CI 0.72-0.79); aged 16-17 years (APR 1.13; 95%CI 1.08-1.18); Black (APR 1.08; 95%CI 1.01-1.14), Brown (APR 1.10; 95%CI 1.05-1.16), or other (APR 1.13; 95%CI 1.04-1.22); eating breakfast (APR 0.84; 95%CI 0.80-0.87); consumed alcoholic (APR 1.12; 95%CI 1.07-1.18); perceiving oneself as overweight (APR 1.34; 95%CI 1.27-1.42) or underweight (APR 1.12; 95%CI 1.06-1.18); engaging in >300 minutes of physical activity per week (APR 0.85; 95%CI 0.80-0.89); consuming fruits (APR 0.86; 95%CI 0.81-0.92); having one or more friends (APR 0.80; 95%CI 0.74-0.86); having ever sought health services (APR 0.92; 95%CI 0.88-0.96); missing school due to health problems for 1-3 days (APR 1.31; 95%CI 1.24-1.39) or ≥4 days (APR 1.64; 95%CI 1.54-1.74); feeling worried (APR 1.09; 95%CI 1.02-1.15), sad (APR 1.33; 95%CI 1.24-1.41), that no one cares about them (APR 1.22; 95%CI 1.16-1.29), irritated (APR 1.19; 95%CI 1.10-1.25), or that life is not worth living (APR 1.38; 95%CI 1.32-1.45).
