The relationship between living in poverty and youth COVID-19 testing in underserved populations.
Article in Annals of epidemiology, 2025. 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
backgroundChildren living in poverty face particular risk for pandemic-related adverse health events. Place-based pandemic-related health inequities may vary for children living in poverty due to social and environmental factors. We aimed to examine the association between living in low-income households and COVID-19 testing in youth across several regions of the United States.
methodsThis cross-sectional study drew data from three Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics-Underserved Populations projects (2021-2023). The association between living in low-income households and COVID-19 testing was analyzed by project using logistic regression adjusted for age, sex assigned at birth, race and ethnicity, and household member job loss.
findingsParticipants (n = 2934; median [first quartile-third quartile] age, 12 [11-13] years; sex, 52 % male; race, 56 % White, 21 % other; ethnicity, 48 % Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish Origin; income, 18 % living in a low-income household) were included. Overall, 83·5 % of the participants had prior COVID-19 testing. Youth participants living in low-income households had 39 % lower adjusted odds of prior testing for COVID-19 compared to those not living in low-income households (0·61; 95 % CI, 0·42-0·88).
interpretationYouth living in low-income households had lower odds of prior testing for COVID-19 compared to those not living in low-income households.
