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

We show that the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and Veterans' Administration (VA) mortgage programmes had few Black borrowers and proportionate foreign-born borrowers in their early years. Although scholars have long posited that the beneficiaries of these programmes were disproportionately white, evidence of the identities of these early borrowers was scant and lacking information on their nativity
