Longitudinal profiles of affect dynamics in middle and later life: A latent transition analysis.
Article in Psychology and aging, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Affect dynamics are key indicators of health and well-being across adulthood, yet little is known about their longitudinal changes and correlates. Combining mean levels and daily variability, this study examined latent profiles of affect dynamics and patterns of profile transitions over a 10-year span among middle-aged and older adults. We examined longitudinal data from the Midlife in the United States study, consisting of the second and third waves of daily diary assessments (National Study of Daily Experiences). The analytic sample included 950 U.S. adults with 7,222 days for Wave 2 and 7,580 days for Wave 3 (mean age at Wave 2 = 53 years, range: 34-81; 58% women; 86% White). Two affect dynamic indicators-affective variability and affect mean levels-were derived from eight daily dairy interviews at each wave. Latent profile analyses identified three profiles of affect dynamics:
