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

During the COVID-19 pandemic, family support for older adults living with disabilities was disrupted due to "Shelter-in-Place (SIP)" orders. This study examined the impact of SIP policies on caregiving changes for people with disabilities who were not married. We used the National Health and Aging Trends Survey (NHATS) round 10 data and previously published data regarding SIP policies. The study sample included NHATS community-dwelling respondents who needed assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) or instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) and who were not married (n = 512). More than half of people (55.1%) reported no change in receiving help, approximately one-third (36.7%) reported receiving less help, and 8.2% reported receiving more help during COVID-19 than before. Compared with people who lived in areas that had fewer than 30%, people living in areas with 30-59% and with 60% or more of SIP days had 12 percentage points lower probability of reporting they received more help during COVID-19 (
