The impact of Métis Nation of Ontario citizens' housing satisfaction on self-reported health: a population-based retrospective cross-sectional study.
Article in BMJ public health, 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
Introduction: Distinction-based research on the relationship between housing and health for Métis people is limited, despite a recognised housing crisis for Indigenous Peoples in Canada. This study examines the association between housing conditions and repairs with self-rated physical, mental, and overall balance of health in citizens of the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO). Methods: An MNO-led, population-based online survey was conducted between 6 May 2022 and 13 June 2022. Census sampling was used to invite all MNO citizens, aged 16 and older, with a valid email on file, to participate. Respondents were asked to rate their physical, mental and overall balance of health, and satisfaction with their housing conditions on five-point Likert scales. Level of repair (major, minor or none) and sociodemographic information were also collected. Bivariate analyses and logistic regression models were used. Results: In total, 4164 (30%) MNO citizens completed the survey. Housing satisfaction and level of repair were strongly associated with self-reported physical, mental and overall balance of health. The adjusted odds of reporting good physical health (OR=3.3; 95% CI 2.61 to 4.21), mental health (OR=4.1; 95% CI 3.19 to 5.20), and overall balance of health (OR=3.8; 95% CI 2.51 to 5.68) were significantly higher among those satisfied with their housing conditions versus dissatisfied. Similar associations were observed with repair. Conclusions: Our results contribute to closing the gap in Métis health research and provide the MNO citizen-specific housing information to inform the planning and evaluation of Métis-specific housing programmes.
