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

While ethnic minorities, less-educated or less-skilled workers, and low-income workers are, in general, deemed more vulnerable to automation, the literature has not adequately investigated whether or not these sociodemographic groups perceive automation as a threat to their jobs. Using the 2019 Metro Atlanta Speaks survey, we find that high-income residents and residents with a graduate or a professional degree did not perceive automation as a threat to their jobs, but relatively older residents, blacks or African Americans, and low-income residents perceived automation as a threat to their jobs. Although Hispanics or Latinos and less-educated residents are identified to be more vulnerable to automation, they did not perceive automation as a threat to their jobs. Hence, automation is most likely to make Hispanics or Latinos and less-educated residents unemployed in metro Atlanta as they do not perceive automation as a threat to their jobs despite being deemed more vulnerable to automation.
