The Impact of Marriage and Cohabitation on Financial Distress: Evidence from SHARE 2015 to 2022 for 16 European Countries.
Article in Research square, 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
In this article, the relevance of the known economic benefits of marriage and cohabitation is reconfirmed. Based on data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) of the period 2015 to 2022 and 16 European countries, the severity of financial distress is explained by relational, health, financial, as well as general characteristics. The study reveals that singles are less likely to report greater easiness to make financial ends meet. Furthermore, income and employment appear to enable overcoming financial distress, while liabilities and reduced health facilitate financial distress. From all countries, primarily Danes report greater easiness to make ends meet. Econometrically, the study relies on ordered and non-ordered, panel and non-panel logistic estimators, which integrate, if possible, calibrated longitudinal weights. Overall, the study illustrates that partnership relieves financial distress and that the relationship stability does matter.
