Mortality in South Africa - socioeconomic profile and association with self-reported health.
Article in Development Southern Africa, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
This paper exploits the first two waves of NIDS to describe the socioeconomic profile of mortality and to assess whether self-rated health status is predictive of mortality between waves. Mortality rates in NIDS are in line with estimates from official death notification data and display the expected hump of excess mortality in early and middle adulthood due to AIDS, with the excess peaking earlier for women than for men. We find evidence of a socioeconomic gradient in mortality with higher rates of mortality for individuals from asset poor households and with lower levels of education. Consistent with evidence from many industrialized countries and a few developing countries, we find self-rated health to be a significant predictor of two year mortality, an association that remains after controlling for socioeconomic status and several other subjective and objective measures of health.
