A Longitudinal Analysis of Self-Rated Health Correlates and Predictors in Hurricane Survivors.
Article in Journal of clinical psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
introductionPoor self-rated health (i.e., perceived health status relative to same-aged individuals) is associated with elevated all-cause mortality. Research examining post-disaster self-rated health is limited but could inform disaster theory and interventions. Identifying and subsequently mitigating individual and contextual determinants of self-rated health could address adverse, downstream effects.
methodThe current study includes secondary analyses from a randomized controlled trial of a digital mental health intervention in a diverse sample of 1357 hurricane-affected adults (49.5% Latine ethnicity). We examined longitudinal relations between baseline (post-disaster) mental health outcomes, baseline social support, demographics, and baseline and follow-up self-rated health (calculated as a change score and 12-month follow-up score). We hypothesized those with elevated baseline psychopathology would be more likely to select the "fair/poor" health category (relative to "good/very good/excellent" self-rated health), and that greater social support would longitudinally predict improved self-rated health. Older individuals were also expected to select the "fair/poor" health category.
resultsIndividuals with higher baseline depressive symptoms and sleep disturbances were more likely to report "fair/poor" self-rated health at baseline and 12 months. Controlling for baseline self-rated health, depression remained a significant predictor of worse 12-month self-rated health in binary and ordinal logistic regressions. Social support did not predict baseline or 12-month self-rated health. Age and gender were non-significant moderators; no variables predicted change scores.
conclusionDepressive symptoms appear to be a key predictor of self-rated health one year post-disaster. Addressing depression post-disaster may mitigate adverse health outcomes.
