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

objectiveTo examine the associations between various hurricane-related exposures and psychiatric and substance use disorders among Puerto Rican adults following Hurricane Maria and to identify disaster-related exposures that may contribute to psychiatric morbidity in hurricane- and typhoon-prone settings. MATERIALS AND

methodsHurricane-related exposures were grouped into personal, property, utility/resource losses, and unsanitary/hazardous exposures. Logistic regression models were run to examine the associations between the number of hurricane-related exposures and disorders.

resultsEach additional hurricane-related exposure was associated with a 1.1 percentage-point increase in the probability of any mood disorder (

conclusionsUtility/resource losses and unsanitary/hazardous conditions emerged as important correlates of post-disaster psychiatric disorders, suggesting that these often-overlooked exposures should be incorporated into disaster assessments and recovery planning.
