Neighbourhood Effects Across Generations and the Reproduction of Inequality.
Article in The British journal of sociology, 2025. 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
This paper analyses the enduring impact of neighbourhood deprivation on youth development, exploring multigenerational aspects often overlooked in existing research. I investigate how neighbourhood environments experienced across two generations impact youth outcomes, focussing on cognitive skills and socio-emotional behaviour. Using data from the 1958 National Child Development Study in the UK, this study employs a Regression with Residuals (RWR) design to comprehensively assess any long-lasting effects. The results point to an enduring impact of neighbourhood deprivation on both outcomes, revealing that sustained exposure to disadvantage drives persistently different developmental trajectories. I find evidence for a transmission mechanism, indicating that exposure to neighbourhood deprivation during parental own formative years affects their offspring's outcomes, directly and indirectly. While parental formative neighbourhood environments significantly shape cognitive development through mechanisms related to education and income, socio-emotional outcomes are also influenced by the legacy of neighbourhood context across generations. While conventional approaches focus on a single point in time, this study contributes to neighbourhood effects literature by taking a lengthier perspective and acknowledging the protracted and influential role that neighbourhoods as social institutions may play in shaping individual opportunities and inequality dynamics over time.
