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 Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) maintains a centralized complaint intake and routing system, yet whether company response timeliness differs across demographic groups and neighborhoods remains under-investigated. We analyze over 1.27 million consumer financial complaints submitted between 2014 and 2022 to assess whether older adults and service members face disparities in company response timeliness. Logistic regression models of company response timeliness in the CFPB portal show that while the predicted probability of a timely response improved from 97.7% in 2014 to 99.4% in 2022 for the general public, disparities remained. Service members consistently had lower probabilities of timely response, with gaps of 0.3 to 1.8 percentage points. Older adults shifted from a slight advantage in 2014 (+0.5 points) to a disadvantage in 2022 (-0.6 points). Consumers in disadvantaged neighborhoods also had lower predicted probabilities of timely company response, with the largest descriptive disparities observed among older adults.
