Addressing the Home Care Shortage: Predictors of Willingness to Provide Paid Home Care in New York.
Article in Journal of the American Medical Directors Association, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectivesTo determine the prevalence and predictors of willingness to consider becoming a paid home care worker.
designCross-sectional telephone-based survey study. SETTING AND
participants800 adult residents of New York State participating in the 2020 Empire State Poll, an annual survey conducted in English and Spanish using random-digit dialing.
methodsWillingness to consider working as a paid home care worker was analyzed as the main outcome. Survey questions also involved demographics and unpaid caregiving experience. We used multinomial logistic regression to examine associations between participant characteristics and willingness to be a paid caregiver.
resultsParticipants had a mean age of 47.7 years (95% CI 45.4-50.0). Demographic information included 51.1% female gender, 65.4% White race, 13.4% Black race, 6.4% Asian or Pacific Islander, 14.8% another race, 19.1% Hispanic/Latino ethnicity, and 43.0% household income below $50,000 per year. A weighted 25.4% of participants would consider becoming a paid home care worker. In an adjusted model, willingness to be a paid home care worker was associated with younger age [odds ratio (OR) 0.98, 95% CI 0.96-1.00, P = .032], female gender (OR 2.46, 95% CI 1.35-4.46, P = .003), Black or other race (OR 2.40, 95% CI 1.11-5.17, P = .026, and OR 3.13, 95% CI 1.30-7.54, P = .011, respectively), Hispanic ethnicity (OR 2.26, 95% CI 1.06-4.81, P = .035), household income below $50,000 per year (OR 2.00, 95% CI 1.03-3.88, P = .040), and having provided unpaid family caregiving (OR 2.08, 95% CI 1.15-3.76, P = .016). CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: A quarter of New Yorkers would consider working as a paid home care worker. Willingness to consider this occupation was associated with the demographic characteristics disproportionately represented in the current home care workforce. Improved working conditions and compensation could help attract and retain home care workers, thereby addressing the rising need for home care in the United States.
