Research on multiple family transitions: An overview.
Article in Family transitions (Philadelphia, Penn.), 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
I provide an overview of three decades of research on multiple family transitions and their implications for children's and adults' development and well-being across the life course. I describe how the advent of longitudinal surveys and improved conceptual models revealed that repeated family change and family complexity are common features of contemporary family organization and discuss key contributions that research on family transitions have made to family science. Collectively, this scholarship has shifted the field away from viewing family change as uniformly harmful and toward a more nuanced understanding of its diverse forms and consequences. The article concludes by highlighting future directions for research that integrate structural inequalities and broaden the scope of family transitions studied.
