Why heart disease mortality is low in France: the time lag explanation.

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.

• Commented on by
  Why heart disease mortality is low in France. Authors' hypothesis is wrong.1999
• Commented on by
  Attribution of time lag theory to explain French paradox.1999
• Commented on by
  Why mortality from heart disease is low in France. Rates of coronary events are similar in France and Southern Europe.2000
• Commented on by
  Why mortality from heart disease is low in France. High cholesterol may not have same effect on cardiovascular risk in southern Europe as elsewhere.2000
• Commented on by
  Why mortality from heart disease is low in France. Wine consumption clearly correlates with residual differences in mortality.2000
