The Intergenerational Transfer of Education Credentials and Health: Evidence from the 2008 General Social Survey-National Death Index.
Article in Journal of health care for the poor and underserved, 2016. 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
backgroundThe educational attainment of a parent is a powerful predictor of children's wellbeing, but little is known about why this is the case.
methodsWe used the 2008 General Social Survey to explore factors that may explain the relationship between one's father's education and one's own mortality. These include (1) intellectual traits, (2) material wellbeing, (3) psychological characteristics, (4) personality characteristics, and (5) social capital.
resultsThe education credentials of one's father are significantly associated with one's risk of death. The strongest mediators are own educational attainment, family income, home ownership, and subjective socioeconomic status. To a lesser extent, respondents' happiness with friends and family and social bonding were also pathways.
conclusionsA father's educational attainment appears to influence his children's health, and may do so not only by improving the child's material circumstances but also through his or her educational attainment and other psychological and social characteristics.
