Impact of occupational pairing on women's fertility plans: roles of domestic burden and housework satisfaction.
Article in Frontiers in sociology, 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
This article examines how the division of housework mediates the relationship between intra-couple socio-economic differences and wives' fertility intentions.Both objective and subjective aspects of housework equality are considered. Using data from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS), this study employs generalized structural equation modeling (GSEM) to analyze multiple mediation pathways linking occupational assortative mating to fertility intentions. The results show that mating patterns influence household labor dynamics, with women who "marry up" bearing a heavier housework load. The paradox of contented wives who undertake most housework suggests that (in)equality does not necessarily correlate with (dis)satisfaction. Multiple mediation analysis reveals that both the actual division of housework and wives' perceived satisfaction with this suppress the direct relationship between occupational assortative mating and wives' fertility intentions. These two mediators function as multiple suppressors in heterogamous marriages. In non-core middle-class and working-class homogamy, only the suppression effect of wives' relative housework burden is significant.
