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

During the COVID-19 pandemic, parents in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) faced greater income loss, high fatality rates, and less accessible healthcare. Peru reported the highest COVID-19 mortality rate globally; yet no known study in Peru has examined the unique impact of COVID-related stressors on parents or their children's behavioral health. Cross-sectional data were drawn from 672 mothers (mean age = 32.5) on COVID-related perceived stress, as part of a longitudinal birth cohort. Factor analyses of COVID-related perceived stress identified three domains which were used in multivariate logistic regression to examine associations with children's (mean age = 7.6; 50.9% boys) internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Mothers reported worries about contracting COVID-19 (86%), losing a job/income (73%), family/friend dying (63.8%), and food intake (60%). Economic insecurity (OR
