Immigrants' Gendered Remittance-Sending Patterns and Purposes: The Role of Marital Status.
Article in Canadian review of sociology = Revue canadienne de sociologie, 2026. 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
Research on immigrant remittances and gender is dominated by qualitative studies focusing on specific groups of immigrants; meanwhile, quantitative analysis is scarce due to data limitations. Drawing on the Study on International Money Transfers, a rare survey dataset on remittance behaviours, we compare how immigrant women and men in Canada send money abroad, with a focus on how gender intersects with marital status. We find that married immigrants make some joint decisions regarding remittances. At the same time, there are notable differences in the purpose of remitting across gender and marital status. Married immigrant women appear to use their remittances to express kinship love, more so than married men. Meanwhile, unmarried men remit larger sums than unmarried women, possibly due to cultural pressures. Furthermore, unmarried immigrant women invest more frequently in healthcare expenses, pointing to their potential role as transnational caretakers for the health of families left behind.
