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

The global COVID-19 pandemic has had catastrophic impacts on global economies and human health. The consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic include the fatalities of millions of people and increased poverty. Given the limited evidence at the micro level and on the heterogeneous impacts of the COVID-19, we use panel data of 2,517 households from Thailand and Vietnam to investigate the correlation and heterogeneous effects of the COVID-19 on household income and poverty and to examine the distributional effects on household income. The results show that the COVID-19 has a negative correlation with household income, while it has a positive correlation with the Gini coefficient of income inequality and poverty. Our results also show that there are unequal effects of the COVID-19 on household income, inequality, and poverty at the micro level. Further, the COVID-19 has the highest negative impact on daily per capita income of households in the 10th and 25th quantile groups. Policy implications are proposed to support households in disadvantageous groups.
