Effects of Long-Term Exposure to the Earned Income Tax Credit on Work Disability in Later Life.
Article in Health economics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This study investigates the impact of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) on work disability and Social Security Disability Insurance (DI) claims among Americans. Utilizing the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, we examine the effects of EITC exposure from birth to mid-adulthood on work disability risk before retirement. Our analysis reveals that EITC exposure during adulthood significantly reduces the likelihood of work disability, potentially influencing DI trends. Specifically, a $10,000 increase in cumulative EITC exposure is associated with about a 1.25 percentage-point lower probability of any work limitation at ages 50-61 (a 0.94 percentage-point reduction in the likelihood of chronic/severe limitations) and a 0.84 percentage-point reduction in DI receipt, highlighting the EITC's potential role in reducing DI dependency and its broader implications for public policy and social welfare.
