Write notes under tables generated with stargazer

Question

I created these descriptive statistics table using the ``stargazer" package, in RStudio and I would like to write a note under this table, but I am not able to. The only thing I could do was a note, that could not be justified.

Instead of resizebox I suggest using tabularx in combination with a smaller font size and a reduced tabcolsep. In the following example, I also replaced the horizontal lines by lines from the booktabs package and added a small vertical white space ebtween adjacent rows as a guide to the eye. For the table note, I used a multicolumn:

documentclass{beamer}
usetheme{Madrid}

usepackage{booktabs}
usepackage{tabularx}

Since all entries in the "N"  column are basically identical, couls you remove that column entirely and add this information into the caption of your table? The result could look something like the following:

documentclass{beamer}
usetheme{Madrid}

usepackage{booktabs}
usepackage{tabularx}

I suspect that you looking for something like this:

With use of the threeparttable, cellspace and siunitx package:

usetheme{Madrid}

Addendum: With desired text below the table, instead threeparttable is used ˙[referable]{threeparttablex}`, text in the first column is in one line
