Profiles of Family Functioning and Their Associations with Physical and Psychological Health Outcomes.
Article in Family sciences, 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
Using a pattern-centered approach, this investigation sought to identify latent subgroups of family functioning and evaluate their associations with health outcomes. A latent profile analysis was conducted using data from the National Study of Midlife Development in the United States (MIDUS). The sample comprised 5923 married adults between 25 and 74 years old who responded to items measuring family support, family strain, spousal support, spousal strain, and spousal agreement. These aspects of family functioning were used to identify four latent classes: Low Functioning (5.0%), Moderate Support with Elevated Strain (31.7%), High Support with Elevated Strain (13.7%), and High Functioning (49.6%). Compared to the other classes, individuals in the High Functioning class had greater psychological well-being and were less likely to have a chronic physical condition. The findings of this study highlight the importance of the systemic context of families in understanding the role of close relationships in health.
