Spatiotemporal association between deprivation and mortality: trends in France during the nineties.
Article in European journal of public health, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
backgroundMonitoring the time course of socio-economic inequalities in mortality is a key public health issue. The aim of this study is to analyse this trend at an ecological level, in mainland France, over the 1990s, using a deprivation index enabling time comparisons.
methodsDeprivation indexes (FDep) were built using the 1990 and 1999 data and the same methodology. The indices were defined as the first component of a principal component analysis including four specific socio-economic variables. The time course of the association between mortality and deprivation was evaluated on the 'commune' geographic scale (36 000 U in mainland France), without considering spatial autocorrelation and on the larger 'canton' scale (3700 U), considering spatial autocorrelation. The analysis was carried out by gender, age and degree of urbanicity and applied to general mortality and a specific subcategory: 'avoidable' deaths.
resultsArea-level socio-economic inequalities in mortality tended to increase during the 1990s. For the period 1997-2001, the standard mortality ratio (SMR) was 24% higher for the communes in the most deprived quintile than for those in the least deprived quintile, while this differential was of 20% for the period 1988-92. This increase in the differentials concerned especially males and people in the age group of <65 years. For both men and women, it was stronger for the 'avoidable' mortality subcategory.
conclusionAs observed at the individual level in previous studies, area-level socio-economic inequalities in health increased during the nineties, while general health improved.
