Parental policy-related worry and low-income families' well-being in the context of U.S. executive orders: A cross-sectional analysis.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2025. 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.

Results Among parents, 24.7 % reported no worry, 11.0 % a little, 20.1 % some, 19.5 % a lot, and 20.8 % extreme worry; 3.9 % were unsure. Parental policy-related worry was dichotomized into low and high. Compared to low-worry parents, high-worry parents reported greater anxiety (
