An assessment of socio-economic inequalities in health among elderly in Greece, Italy and Spain.
Article in International journal of public health, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectiveThis study explores socio-economic inequalities in health among Mediterranean people aged 50 or higher.
methodsThe data used in the analysis come from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe, wave 1, release 2; the sample includes 2,671 Greek, 2,502 Italian and 2,343 Spanish persons. Seven health indicators are examined using age-sex standardized prevalence rates and logistic regression models. Concentration indices are also computed for self-rated health (SRH).
resultsSocio-economic position of individuals declines with age. Persons of lower socio-economic position experience worse health in all instances. Independently of education and gender, Greek persons display the lowest prevalence rates for SRH and physical and depressive symptoms, Spanish exhibit the highest rates for chronic conditions, and Italians perform better regarding functional limitations. Within-country analysis shows that the magnitude of socio-economic inequalities in SRH is greatest in Greece, followed by Spain and lastly by Italy.
conclusionsThe analysis reconfirms the advantage of high over low socio-economic position for all countries and health indicators and proves education as an important correlate compared to wealth and income among the elderly.
