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

Paid sick leave (PSL) can be an important determinant of health care use. The United States lacks a federal PSL policy, but some employers have offered PSL benefits voluntarily, and a number of states and localities have mandated PSL benefit provision by employers. Access to PSL among adults has increased over time but less is known about trends in family-level access to PSL, which could impact children. This study documented trends over time in children's access to family-level PSL. We hypothesized that children's access to family-level PSL increased over time. We examined trends in the percentage of children who lived in families with at least 1 working parent in which an employed parent had PSL, using 2010 to 2024 nationally representative National Health Interview Survey data. We found that children gained family-level PSL access over time, with more than three-quarters of children having access to family-level PSL in 2024. However, these gains were not equally experienced across all children, and substantial differences in family-level PSL access existed across populations. Children in the United States have been gaining access to family-level PSL, but some groups, in particular, children of Hispanic ethnicity, have lagged behind other children in terms of access to this benefit.
