Socioeconomic gradients in the prevalence of cardiovascular disease in Scotland: the roles of composition and context.
Article in Journal of epidemiology and community health, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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 investigate whether occupational social class and area deprivation are independently associated with the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) conditions after adjustment for smoking status.
designStratified multistage random sample analysed using multilevel logistic regression.
participants8804 adults aged 18-74 at time of interview in 1998-1999, clustered in 312 small areas. The outcome considered was a self report of doctor diagnosis of one of a number of CVD conditions. The survey also provided information concerning the respondent's occupational social class and current smoking status. The Carstairs score (based on the 1991 census) was used to describe small area deprivation. MAIN
resultsThe gradient in CVD prevalence across individual social class was attenuated and became insignificant when area deprivation was considered. The aggregation of individual social class and smoking to the area level increased the correlation with disease prevalence at the individual level.
conclusionsAlthough there is a relation between socioeconomic status and CVD prevalence in Scotland, the relation is dominated by area deprivation. When externally validated deprivation measures are not available, aggregated individual characteristics may show a contextual (as compared with compositional) relation.
