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
Since 2010, 12 states and three cities in the United States have enacted Domestic Worker Bills of Rights (DW BoR), codifying minimum wage, overtime, anti-harassment protections, and more for many domestic workers (eg, private household childcare, home health, personal care, and housekeeping workers). We used repeated cross-sectional nationally representative 2006-2019 American Community Survey data and difference-in-differences methods to compare changes in domestic workers' hours and earned income in eight states that enacted DW BoR versus 12 politically similar states that did not. Enacting DW BoR was associated with reductions in overtime and extremely long hours in Years 6-9 post-enactment, without negatively impacting earnings. Agency-employed domestic workers and home health, personal care, and childcare workers experienced larger reductions in hours than informally employed or housekeeping workers, respectively. Results suggest potential benefits and challenges of using legislation to improve domestic working conditions and are highly relevant to policy advocacy and enforcement efforts.
