Area deprivation and widening inequalities in US mortality, 1969-1998.
Article in American journal of public health, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07166861 (Supporting Practices In Respecting Elders Phase 2), which is not on this map. Cited by 841 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

Abstract
objectivesThis study examined age-, sex-, and race-specific gradients in US mortality by area deprivation between 1969 and 1998.
methodsA census-based area deprivation index was linked to county mortality data.
resultsArea deprivation gradients in US mortality increased substantially during 1969 through 1998. The gradients were steepest for men and women aged 25 to 44 years and those younger than 25 years, with higher mortality rates observed in more deprived areas. Although area gradients were less pronounced for women in each age group, they rose sharply for women aged 25 to 44 and 45 to 64 years.
conclusionsAreal inequalities in mortality widened because of slower mortality declines in more deprived areas. Future research needs to examine population-level social, behavioral, and medical care factors that may account for the increasing gradient.
