Do household asset wealth measurements depend on who is surveyed? Asset reporting concordance within multi-adult households in rural Uganda.
Article in Journal of global health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers.
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
backgroundIn resource-limited settings, the Filmer & Pritchett asset index is frequently used to measure household economic status. Little is known about how its validity is affected by differential reporting or recall within households.
methodsAs part of a whole-population survey in a rural region of southwestern Uganda, we elicited household asset information from married dyads (404 men and 404 matched women) residing within the same households. We assessed the extent to which the asset index yielded differing measures of relative household wealth, depending on whether the husband's or wife's survey data were used in its calculation. To estimate agreement, we used Cohen's κ for binary and categorical variables, and Cronbach's α for continuous variables. We also assessed the extent to which asset wealth quintiles assigned based on husbands' vs wives' reporting were concordant, and whether discordance was related to demographic characteristics.
resultsFor most individual assets, agreement ranged from moderate to very good. Asset index scores based on husbands' vs wives' reporting were positively correlated (Pearson
conclusionsThere is significant intra-household variability in household asset reporting that can materially affect how households are classified on a widely used measure of relative household asset wealth.
