Exploring the mediating roles of parenting & relationship quality in the association between early socioeconomic disparities and healthcare utilization for childhood allergic conditions: Longitudinal evidence from linked LSAC-medicare data.
Article in The World Allergy Organization journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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.

Abstract
Introduction: Allergic diseases are an increasing public health concern among Australian children, with notable inequalities in healthcare utilization. This study examined how early socioeconomic status (SES) influences healthcare use for childhood allergic diseases, mediated by parenting style and parental relationship quality. Methods: Using data from a nationally representative longitudinal cohort, meditational analyses were conducted with a time-lagged design. Generalized structural equation modeling with a negative binomial family and logit link estimated direct and indirect effects. Statistical significance was defined as p < 0.05 or 95% bootstrapped confidence intervals excluding zero. Results: Allergic disease prevalence was 23.3% and 55% of affected children had high healthcare utilization. Higher SES was indirectly associated with increased healthcare use through parenting style (IRR = 1.27, p < 0.05) and parental relationship quality (IRR = 1.91, p < 0.05). Sequential mediation was significant (IRR = 1.29, p < 0.05), with a strong total indirect effect (IRR = 2.07, p < 0.05) and a substantial overall total effect (IRR = 2.44, p < 0.05). Conclusion: Parenting style and parental relationship quality partially mediate the SES-healthcare utilization relationship. Strengthening family dynamics alongside addressing socioeconomic inequities will improve equitable healthcare access for children with allergic diseases.
