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

backgroundDiaper insecurity is a major financial burden for many families with young children.

objectivesWe aimed to describe the most frequently occurring stressors among caregivers receiving diaper assistance.

designCaregivers receiving diaper assistance at community-based organizations in North Carolina completed surveys, including a modified Everyday Stressors Index.

methodsWe conducted a descriptive, cross-sectional study, calculating the number and percent of caregivers reporting that each stressor caused them "a lot of" or "some" stress.

resultsMore than half of participants reported "a lot of" or "some" stress about not having enough time to do the things they want (58.5%), affording diapers (58.3%), affording rent or mortgage (54.1%), having too many responsibilities or things to do (53.1%), and affording utility bills (51.0%).

conclusionsCaregivers need support having enough money to meet basic needs and having sufficient time to meet their responsibilities and goals. Potential strategies include repealing the state sales tax on diapers and increasing state and federal tax credits and minimum wage.
