"Not an option": How Mothers with Limited Incomes View Barriers to Child Care Use for Infants and Toddlers.
Article in Children and youth services review, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Although early care and education offers benefits for child development and supports parental workforce participation, many families with low incomes do not use such care for their young children. The present study explores how mothers with limited financial resources in two metropolitan areas in the US view nonparental care for their infants and toddlers. In addition to common cost barriers, mistrust shapes mothers' broader decisions about whether to use any child care. Mothers contend with a generalized sense of mistrust in child care settings that is contingent on their child's development. They anticipate the need to verify the safety of their children and consider their options for doing so. These findings have implications for early childhood policy, including policy aimed at increasing access to child care.
