Genetic and environmental factors underlying the associations between attachment styles and mental and physical health.

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
Research suggests that people who have relatively secure attachment styles tend to experience better mental and physical health across the lifespan (Pietromonaco & Beck, 2019; X. Zhang et al., 2022). Despite the growing body of research linking attachment styles to health outcomes, relatively little is known about why or how these associations arise. The present study analyzed data from 1,377 older adult twins, who completed measures of their general and relationship-specific attachment styles and five health assessments-depressive symptoms, self-reported mental and physical health, physical illnesses, and waist circumference. Leveraging the study's twin design, we estimated the relative contributions of genetic and environmental factors to the associations between attachment styles and health. Our findings suggest that the genetic factors underlying depression are largely overlapping with the genetic factors underlying attachment anxiety (e.g., genetic correlation,
