Married Men's Coresidence with Parents or In-Laws and Later Life Mortality.
Article in Populations, 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
Mortality studies comparing married men to never-married or formerly married men have consistently found that married men have a noticeable mortality advantage. This paper takes a novel perspective-examining mortality outcomes from the perspective of married men only and comparing those who coreside with any parents, in-laws, or their spouse only. The analyses use CenSoc data set, consisting of the 1940 Full Count United States Census linked to the Social Security Administration Death Master Files and includes 1.7 million married men between the ages of 21 and 45 years old residing with their spouse, and who died between 1975 and 2005. The results show that married men who live with only a spouse but no parental generations have an older age at death, and being a household head has an additional advantage. Living with either or both of their parents is associated with a reduction in life of 4 months, or 2 months for those who live with their in-laws. The conclusion reached is that longevity is associated with the possible burden of living with one's parents, coupled with the reasons that may have led to the particular living arrangement. The effect of coresidence is, in turn, filtered through expectations about intergenerational relationships and norms regarding coresidence. The coresidence experience can become part of a trajectory, leading to declines in longevity.
