Increased Household Responsibility During COVID-19 Is Associated With Higher Current Parenting Responsibility Among Fathers, but Not Mothers.
Article in Family & community health. 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesWhile several studies have described short-term increases in fathers' reports of household labor during the pandemic, few have reported on longer-term trends. We estimated the association between recalled changes in household responsibilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic and current health-related parental responsibility.
methodsFather-mother dyads with young children (n = 253) completed surveys. We used Actor-Partner Interdependence Models to estimate the association between recalled household responsibility change during the pandemic and current health-related parental responsibility.
resultsRecalled increases in household responsibility during the pandemic were associated with higher current health-related parental responsibility among fathers (β= 0.05, SE = 0.03), though not mothers.
conclusionsThe pandemic may have catalyzed increases in father responsibility and facilitated a shift towards more egalitarian household labor divisions. Findings pose design implications for parenting interventions; for example, programs may shift from mother-focused to family-systems approaches, include content that reflect more egalitarian care, and incorporate curricula that address fathers' increasing responsibilities.
