Adolescent wellbeing is associated with positive outcomes in early adulthood in a sibling comparison study.
Article in Nature communications, 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
Puberty through adulthood involves major psychological and social change. Prospective evidence on adolescent wellbeing and later outcomes remains limited. Here we show that higher adolescent wellbeing (age 14-16) is associated with more favourable psychological and health-related outcomes in early adulthood (ages 20-25 and 25-35). Using data of 14,518 twins and siblings of the Netherlands Twin Register, we examine associations between adolescent wellbeing and adult wellbeing, flourishing, personality traits, self-rated health, and sleep quality using both between-family and within-family designs. Between-family analyses indicate positive associations with early adulthood wellbeing (β = 0.32;0.38), flourishing (β = 0.27;0.34), conscientiousness (β = 0.18;0.22), self-rated health (β = 0.09;0.18), and sleep quality (β = 0.59;0.87), and inverse associations with early adulthood neuroticism (β = -0.34;-0.11)(pFDR<0.05). Associations with self-rated health (β = 0.09), sleep quality (β = 059;0.66), and neuroticism (β = -0.11;-0.37), remain significant (pFDR<0.05) after adjusting for adolescent levels of the corresponding outcome. In the within-family analyses, that control for shared familial factors, associations with wellbeing (β
