Trajectories of intimacy and conflict with mothers and fathers from adolescence to adulthood.
Article in International journal of behavioral development, 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
The quality of mother-child and father-child relationships evolves during emerging adulthood. Given the diverse life paths of young adults, the positive (intimacy) and negative (conflict) dimensions underpinning these relationships may change heterogeneously. This study aimed to identify trajectories of intimacy and conflict with mothers and fathers from ages 16 to 30, explore the overlap between mothers' and fathers' trajectories, and examine whether child characteristics and family characteristics predict membership in these trajectories. Data were drawn from a longitudinal study initiated with 390 participants recruited from sixth-grade classes (58% girls). Intimacy and conflicts were measured at ages 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 25, and 30, and antecedents were measured at ages 12, 13, and 15. Latent class growth analyses revealed three trajectories of intimacy for mothers: (1) low-stable (30%), (2) moderate-quadratic (40%), and (3) high-quadratic (30%); and for fathers: (1) low-stable (44%), (2) moderate-quadratic (44%), and (3) high-quadratic (12%). Two conflict trajectories were identified for mothers: (1) high-linear (18%) and (2) low-quadratic (82%), and for fathers: (1) high-stable (15%) and (2) low-quadratic (85%). Child gender and socioeconomic status predicted mother-intimacy trajectories, while family cohesion and children's depressive symptoms predicted intimacy and conflict trajectories with both parents, respectively.
