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.

Abstract

introductionPoverty can have profound negative impacts on parent, child and family health. Primary care providers are in a unique position to address child poverty. Some team-based models have integrated community support workers (CSWs) for social service system navigation assistance. The overall aim of this study is to rigorously test a poverty reduction intervention (navigation of financial supports) embedded in primary care. The primary objective is to compare parenting stress between CSW-supported, structured review of financial supports and social system navigation (intervention) and receipt of written summary of local resources (usual care). METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This is a multisite pragmatic superiority randomised controlled trial with a 1:1 allocation to the CSW-supported social system navigation versus no navigation. Parent-child dyads (80 parents of children aged <3 years endorsing ' ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Research ethics approval by Queen's University Health Sciences REB. Results will be shared with the College of Family Physicians of Canada, the Ontario SPOR SUPPORT Unit and academic forums. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: Connecting Families (Registered 12 October 2021 at www. CLINICALTRIALS: gov; NCT05091957).
