The Long-Term Impact of Childhood Disability on Mental Health Trajectories in Mid- to Late-Life.
Article in Journal of aging and health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectivesWe draw from the life course and stress process frameworks to examine how experiencing disability in early life influences mental health in adulthood.
methodsData come from the Health and Retirement Study Cross-Wave Childhood Health and Family Aggregated Data file (2008-2018,
resultsRespondents who experienced childhood disability exhibit more depressive symptoms at age 50 compared to those who did not experience this stressor. However, there is no difference in the growth of depressive symptoms with age between these groups, suggesting maintained inequality over the late adulthood life course. DISCUSSION: Findings suggest that childhood disability has long-term implications for life course mental health.
