Life Course Dynamics in the Health of Mothers Raising Children with Serious Conditions.
Article in Journal of health and social behavior, 2026. 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
Although raising children with serious conditions is known to be associated with poorer parental well-being, recent research following a life course perspective highlights how these associations accumulate over time. Expanding this perspective on long-term dynamics of this parental experience, this study examined how three conceptualizations of the "intensity" of this parental role-caregiving duration, cumulative transitions into this role, and the number of affected children-shaped maternal physical health in midlife. Fixed-effects modeling of panel data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (n = 8,305) revealed that all three dimensions significantly predicted poorer maternal physical health, with particular salience for cumulative transitions and the number of affected children. These associations were generally weaker when mothers had higher income or greater labor force participation, although such buffering effects applied more consistently to labor force participation and specifically to repeated transitions and mothers of two (vs. one) affected children.
