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

objectivesSocioeconomic status impacts emotional health outcomes, but a lifecourse approach is necessary to understand the timing of these effects. The current analyses examined the impact of financial strain in childhood and adulthood on longitudinal changes in three measures of emotional health: depressive symptoms, loneliness, and anxiety.

methodData were from 1596 adults from the Swedish Twin Registry, aged 45 to 98 at intake (mean = 72.6) who participated in up to 9 waves over 25 years. Measures of financial strain (FS) included questions about how well finances met family needs. Latent growth curve models (LGCM) were used to estimate the impact of childhood and adult FS on changes in emotional health.

resultsResults indicated that both childhood and adult FS independently influenced trajectories of emotional health in mid to late adulthood. For all 3 emotional health variables, both childhood and adult FS were associated with the LGCM intercept and childhood FS was associated with linear change with age. Interaction effects of childhood and adult FS were found for the LGCM intercept for loneliness, only.

conclusionResults corroborate the accumulation of risk models, with effects of both childhood and adult FS on emotional health, and possible social mobility effects for loneliness.
