Article in International journal of behavioral medicine, 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
backgroundParental socioeconomic position (SEP) shapes adolescent health behaviors, which may contribute to adulthood socioeconomic outcomes. Clustering health behaviors into distinct health behavioral profiles helps broaden understanding of these associations. We examined whether (1) parental SEP, measured in early life and in adolescence, is related to adolescents' health behavior profiles and (2) whether these profiles in adolescence are associated with own socioeconomic position in adulthood.
methodThe data comprised 5612 adolescents and their parents from the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986. Health behaviors in adolescence were clustered into healthy and unhealthy health behavioral profiles. Parental SEP was measured at the child's birth in 1986 using parental employment status, and in 2001 using parental education and household income. Own SEP in adulthood (education and employment status) was measured in 2017-2018. Multinomial logistic regression was used to examine associations between health behaviors and SEP over time.
resultsLow parental education was associated with an unhealthy health behavioral profile in adolescence among girls (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 2.48; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.63-3.78). Adolescents with unhealthy profiles were more likely to have lower educational attainment in adulthood (men: OR 2.45; 95% CI 1.52-3.93; women: OR 3.18; 95% CI 1.65, 6.15). Additionally, individuals with unhealthy profiles were more likely to have manual occupations (men: OR 1.91; 95% CI 1.40, 2.60; women: OR 2.45; 95% CI 1.67, 3.62) or be unemployed (men: OR 1.67; 95% CI 1.18, 2.35; women: OR 2.10; 95% CI 1.50, 2.94).
conclusionProviding early support may promote health equity by enabling adolescents from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds to engage in healthy behaviors and access higher education in adulthood.
