Intergenerational occupational mobility and health in the United States.
Article in Social science & medicine (1982), 2025. 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
Does intergenerational occupational mobility impact health and well-being net of occupational origins and destinations? Are the net effects of mobility homogeneous across demographic subgroups? Using data from High School and Beyond cohort (HS&B:80) and two mobility effect models (Luo's Mobility Contrast Model and Sobel's Diagonal Reference Model), we find no evidence of mobility effects on physical (i.e., hypertension, diabetes), mental (i.e., depression, loneliness), self-rated global, or cognitive health in mid-life at the population level. However, we find heterogeneity in mobility effects across gender and racial subgroups. The effects of origin and destination statuses vary across health outcomes, and the (dis)advantages associated with origin status are sometimes fully offset by those of destination status for intergenerationally mobile individuals.
