Education, income inequality, and mortality: a multiple regression analysis.
Article in BMJ (Clinical research ed.), 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 69 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveTo test whether the relation between income inequality and mortality found in US states is because of different levels of formal education.
designCross sectional, multiple regression analysis.
settingAll US states and the District of Columbia (n=51). DATA SOURCES: US census statistics and vital statistics for the years 1989 and 1990.
main outcome measureMultiple regression analysis with age adjusted mortality from all causes as the dependent variable and 3 independent variables-the Gini coefficient, per capita income, and percentage of people aged >/=18 years without a high school diploma.
resultsThe income inequality effect disappeared when percentage of people without a high school diploma was added to the regression models. The fit of the regression significantly improved when education was added to the model.
conclusionsLack of high school education accounts for the income inequality effect and is a powerful predictor of mortality variation among US states.
