Observational studyWomen's health (London, England)
Caregiver report of the experiences of infant and child diaper insecurity, social support, and utilization of resources to help meet basic family need in the United States: A nationally-representative cross-sectional survey.
Observational study in Women's health (London, England). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
BackgroundDiaper insecurity is associated with caregiver health and quality of life through relationships with financial stress, inability to meet other basic health and material needs, constraints on engagement in community, workforce, school, and early childhood education, and negative associations with caregivers' own and their child's health and mental health.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study is to better understand affective components of diaper affordability, how these components may contribute to perceptions of social support, and to understand if and how households would like to receive diaper support.DesignCross-sectional observational study.MethodsData were collected via an online survey from March-April 2024. Surveys were completed by U.S. adults (N=1,000) who were caregivers of a child in their home wearing diapers.ResultsHalf of households (46.7%, n=467) reported diaper insecurity. Caregivers with diaper insecurity were more likely to report feeling alone (OR=8.19, CI=5.78-11.59), judged (OR=6.83, CI=5.07-9.21), helpless (OR=4.62, CI=3.54-6.03), and stressed or anxious (OR=4.54, CI=3.46-5.95) due to diaper affordability compared to those who reported being diaper secure. Most households with diaper insecurity (84.6%, n=395) had accessed resources for help meeting basic needs. Participants with diaper insecurity were less likely to feel treated in the way they deserve by healthcare professionals, community organizations, or the people close to them compared to participants without diaper insecurity. Diaper insecurity and negative affective components of diaper affordability significantly predicted perceived social support F (26, 972)=20.429,
