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

Context: The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact, profoundly altering household composition, income levels, and economic support structures. Aims: Explore the changes in family typology after the COVID-19 pandemic among Mexican families affiliated with a Family Medicine Unit (FMU) in Tampico, Tamaulipas. Settings and Design: An analytical, comparative, and exploratory study. A total of 73 families attended FMU No. 38 were included. Family typology was determined before and 4 years after the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods and Material: Data collected included identification, and sociodemographic variables. Family typology was determined based on the Mexican Consensus of Family Medicine and Life Cycle stage was classified according to Huerta. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics. Descriptive analysis of quantitative variables was conducted using measures of central tendency and standard deviation (SD), qualitative variables were described using frequencies and percentages. Comparisons between variables were performed using the Chi-square (χ Results: The mean age was 38.52 ± 12.77 years in the pre-pandemic period. Pre-pandemic marital status was predominantly married (57.5%), followed by single (32.9). An increase in the proportion of divorced and widowed individuals was observed in the post-pandemic period (6.8% and 2.7%, respectively). Statistically significant differences were identified in the post-pandemic period, including a decrease in the proportion of employees (from 78.1% to 65.8%). The proportion of nuclear families decreased (from 39.7% to 11.9%), while non-integrated nucleus increased (8.2% to 19.7% Conclusions: The findings of this study confirm the profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the structure and dynamics of Mexican families, in labor, economic and family organization aspects.
