Financial hardship experienced by people with disabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Article in Disability and health journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
backgroundPeople with disabilities are poorer and more financially insecure than nondisabled people. While people with disabilities were adversely affected by the pandemic and were more likely to experience poverty prior to the pandemic, less is known about their experiences with financial hardship during the pandemic.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to explore the financial hardship of people with disabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic, including differences with nondisabled people and those based on people with disabilities' sociodemographics.
methodsWe analyzed Household Pulse Survey data from 52,890 adults (18+) with disabilities and 391,532 nondisabled adults using complex samples descriptive statistics and binary logistic regressions.
resultsDuring the Delta and first Omicron waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, 52.0% of people with disabilities had difficulty paying usual household expenses. People with disabilities were 2.78 times more likely to experience financial hardship during the pandemic than nondisabled people. People with disabilities' most common sources of income/funds for spending needs included: regular income sources (66.7%); credit cards or loans (36.6%); money from savings or selling assets or possessions (31.5%); and borrowing from friends or family (22.0%).
conclusionsA significant proportion of adults with disabilities experienced financial hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic, including at greater rates than nondisabled adults. Financial hardship can have long lasting impacts upon people with disabilities, including on their physical and mental health, well-being, and overall quality of life.
