Ripples across generations: offspring outcomes after parental infant institutionalisation-study protocol of the LifeStories Offspring Project.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 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
Intergenerational transmission of adversity is increasingly studied, yet little is known about the transmission of specific early-life experiences, particularly deprivation-related experiences. The LifeStories Offspring Project addresses this gap by examining whether infant institutionalisation under conditions of psychosocial deprivation is associated with outcomes in the next generation. The study builds on a population-based, non-selective cohort of individuals placed in Swiss infant care institutions between 1958 and 1961 under social and compulsory measures before the 1981 law reform. The parent generation was first assessed in infancy, followed up in adolescence, and reassessed approximately 60 years later. Compared with a non-institutionalised community cohort from the Zurich Longitudinal Studies, formerly placed individuals showed poorer physical and mental health, poorer cognitive functioning, and increased mortality. The current study will examine the adolescent and adult offspring of formerly institutionalised individuals (
