The Impact of Child Disability on Parental Outcomes: Evidence From Sweden.
Article in Health economics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Parents of children with disabilities may face higher labor-market penalties given the extra care and support required. Using Swedish administrative data, we focus on first-born children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) to estimate impacts on parental labor-market outcomes. We apply an event study approach to identify effects up to 10 years after the birth of the child. Our results show that employment and earnings of mothers decrease in the short run and increase in the long run whereas for fathers, a marginal decrease is observed in the short run. The effects differ by severity of the disability, with mothers of children with severe impairments driving the increases in the long run, whilst mothers of children with mild impairments appear to experience a penalty. Further, transfers and benefits from the Swedish social insurance system compensate parents for some of the potential costs associated with caring for a child with CP.
