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

U.S. immigrants are aging faster than their U.S.-born counterparts, though little is known about their sensory difficulty and assistive device use patterns, particularly by region of origin which reflects pre- and post-migration exposures. We compiled 2012-2018 National Health Interview Survey data on foreign-born respondents ages 65+ (n = 6,278) to independently predict odds of hearing and visual difficulty, as well as use of hearing aids and glasses, by region of origin, adjusting for various characteristics. Compared to respondents from Europe, we consistently found
