Specific versus general self-reported health indicators predicting mortality among older adults in Europe: disparities by gender employing SHARE longitudinal data.
Article in International journal of public health, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectivesThe study aims at assessing the relative importance of specific versus general self-reported indicators of health and disability in predicting mortality among older adults and at exploring the potential value of the global activity limitation indicator (GALI), a recently validated general measure of activity restrictions, as predictor of death.
methodsLongitudinal data from two waves (2004 and 2006-2007) of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe were employed. The sample comprises 17,941 persons aged 50+ at baseline, representing 11 countries. Associations were estimated by sex using Cox's proportional hazards regression models.
resultsMost specific and general indicators of health and disability are strong and independent predictors. There are disparities by sex; among general measures, controlling for all indicators under consideration, self-rated health (SRH) only remains significantly associated with mortality among males and GALI among females.
conclusionsA combination of specific and general measures is more efficient in predicting mortality than either of these alone. SRH and GALI seem to share some traits, adding health and disability dimensions over specific measures, representing though different aspects by gender.
