Impact of upward social mobility on population mortality: analysis with routine data.
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 9 papers.
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 examine the contribution of changes in the distribution of social class to the mortality of the whole population between 1970-2 and 1991-3.
designExamination of routine data at two time points: 1970-2 and 1991-3. DATA SOURCE: Data provided by the Office for National Statistics.
main outcome measuresDifference for the total population in the number of deaths between 1971 and 1991. Proportion of difference accounted for by change in population size, change in risk of death within each social class, or change in distribution of population across social classes.
resultsReductions in mortality between 1970-2 and 1991-3 among men in England and Wales were partially (16% of all deaths) attributable to increases in the proportion of men in higher social classes, representing 3943 fewer deaths per year or one less death for every 3056 men in 1991-3 compared with 1970-2.
conclusionSome of the observed reduction in mortality seen between 1970-2 and 1991-3 can be accounted for by improved overall socioeconomic status of the population.
