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

The importance of neighbors is highlighted in times of crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic: they offer support by providing small services and a sense of community. Using panel data from Switzerland, this study investigates how and for whom relations with neighbors changed during the pandemic. In a second step, changes in subjective well-being and trust in other people are linked to changes in neighborly relations. The results show that the negative impact of the pandemic on people's subjective well-being and trust was much less pronounced for those who improved their relations with neighbors. Meanwhile, people with more resources prior to the pandemic were generally more likely to improve neighborly relations. Consequently, the most vulnerable groups in terms of health and socio-economic status saw their subjective well-being and trust negatively impacted through the challenging circumstances of the pandemic as well as indirectly through a relative deterioration of neighborly relations. Robustness analyses further show that the documented effects are attributable to changes induced by the pandemic.
