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

Precarious and informal employment has been increasingly recognized as a key social determinant of health, particularly in countries of the Global South. In Chile, despite relatively strong labor institutions, informal employment remains widespread, yet contemporary evidence on its health implications is limited. This study examines the association between the absence of a written employment contract, used as an indicator of labor informality, and multiple health and well-being outcomes among employed adults in Chile. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using data from the nationally representative 2022-2023 National Health and Sexuality Survey (ENSEX), restricted to the urban employed population (
