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

Hurricane Katrina displaced nearly all of New Orleans' 455,000 pre-Katrina residents. While several research teams have investigated the dynamics of return, few studies have employed a qualitative approach, which makes possible a more nuanced exploration of decision making using words and phrasing of those directly affected. Qualitative interview data from 50 participants were analyzed, including both New Orleans residents who had permanently relocated as well as those who had returned to the city by the 5-year anniversary of the storm. The results suggest broad domains of decision making: (a) post-Katrina housing affordability and cost of living, (b) family ties and social support, and (c) the pull of home and place attachment. These results have implications for future research, as well as for disaster preparedness planning and recovery.
