Reasons for Not Working During the Coronavirus Pandemic Among Working-Age Persons With and Without Disabilities in the US.
Article in Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo provide new information about the reasons why persons with and without disabilities were not working during the coronavirus pandemic.
designSecondary analysis of the Household Pulse Survey conducted between April 14, 2021, and May 9, 2022.
settingThe United States.
participants876,865 people with and without disabilities aged 18-64 years (N=876,865).
interventionN/A.
main outcome measuresReasons for not working such as "Sick with coronavirus symptoms or caring for someone who was sick with coronavirus symptoms", "Concerned about getting or spreading the coronavirus", "Sick (not coronavirus related) or disabled", "Laid off or furloughed due to coronavirus pandemic", "Employer closed temporarily due to the coronavirus pandemic", "Caring for children not in school or daycare", "Caring for an elderly person", "Retired", "Did not have transportation to work", and "other" reasons.
resultsThe number of people with disabilities and people without disabilities in the sample was 82,703 and 794,162, respectively. People with disabilities were more likely to report that they were laid off or furloughed and less likely to report that they did not want employment than people without disabilities. Working-age adults with disabilities were more likely to report health or disability reasons not related to coronavirus than working-age adults without disabilities as a reason for not working. Caring for children not in school or daycare was 1 of the most cited reasons for both people with and without disabilities. Women, among both the groups, were more likely to not work primarily due to caregiving responsibilities. People with disabilities were more likely to report getting or spreading the coronavirus and less likely to report being retired as a reason for not working than people without disabilities.
conclusionAnalyzing reasons why people with disabilities were not working during the pandemic is crucial for successful employment policymaking in a post-pandemic world.
