Article in American journal of human biology : the official journal of the Human Biology Council, 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
This protocol paper describes the methods of a multi-year study examining individual, community, and structural-level influences on health among people experiencing homelessness in a mid-sized Oregon city. We draw on biocultural theory and method to examine three distinct social ecologies of homelessness in the study setting: unsheltered homelessness, temporarily sheltered homelessness, and permanent supportive or transitional housing. Our mixed-method approach incorporates epidemiological-style questionnaires, biomarkers sampled via finger prick blood and hair, and in-depth case study interviews to holistically examine the pathways that connect homelessness and physical and mental health, and to compare outcomes across the three social ecologies of homelessness. Preliminary results are now emerging and are being used in public advocacy as well as research publications.
