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 COVID-19 pandemic increased people's propensity for precautionary savings in response to economic recession (e.g., Mody et al., 2012; Gropp and McShane, 2021; Levine et al., 2021). However, as the relevant vaccine roll-out continues, it mitigates people's concerns and boosts the macroeconomy, which leads to significant declines in household precautionary saving motives. Consistent with this expectation, using U.S. county-level vaccination, deposit, economic, and demographic data, we show that there is a significant negative relationship between COVID-19 vaccination and household savings. We attribute this negative relationship to an economic recovery channel because our findings also suggest that the vaccination has a strong negative impact on the unemployment rate and results in increases in consumer spending. Overall, our study adds to an emerging strand of literature on how COVID-19 vaccination affects households' financial behaviors.
