The impact of multidimensional intergenerational support on fertility intentions among young Chinese couples: the mediating role of parenting burden and fertility anxiety.

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
Objective: This study examines the impact of multidimensional intergenerational support on fertility intentions among young Chinese couples, alongside the chained mediating mechanisms of childcare burdens and fertility anxiety. Methods: A survey was conducted among 3,246 young married couples (aged 20-35) across 12 Chinese provinces, utilizing the Multidimensional Intergenerational Support Scale, Childcare Burden Scale, Fertility Anxiety Scale, and Fertility Intention Questionnaire to measure multidimensional intergenerational support, childcare burden, parenting anxiety, and fertility intentions. Results: (1) Multidimensional intergenerational support positively correlated with fertility intentions among Chinese young couples, while negatively correlating with childcare burden and fertility anxiety. Childcare burden positively correlated with fertility anxiety, and both childcare burden and fertility anxiety negatively correlated with fertility intentions. (2) Multidimensional intergenerational support significantly and positively predicted fertility intentions among Chinese young couples. (3) Childcare burden and fertility anxiety, respectively, mediated the effect of multidimensional intergenerational support on fertility intentions among young Chinese couples; (4) Childcare burden and fertility anxiety played a chain-mediated role in the influence of multidimensional intergenerational support on fertility intentions among young Chinese couples. Conclusion: Multidimensional intergenerational support can directly influence young Chinese couples' fertility intentions, and can also indirectly influence their fertility intentions through the chained mediating pathway of childcare burden and fertility anxiety.
