1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundReduced earning capacity pensions are an important welfare state benefit for those who are no longer able to work due to chronic illness. However, the low average pension entitlements are a cause for concern.

objectiveEarly retirement results in lower overall pensions due to obligatory deductions, often combined with less stable working careers and longer periods of unemployment. The following analysis investigates the consequences of career characteristics for pension entitlements in 2014. MATERIALS AND

methodsLongitudinal data from the German Pension Insurance records, the "Completed Insurance Biographies 2014" (SUF VVL 2014), are used to study differences between pensioners who had retired early due to ill health and regular old age pensioners in terms of working career stability and the resulting monthly pension payments. Linear regression is used to explore reasons for overall lower pensions for persons with reduced earning capacity.

resultsOn average, more old age pensioners had had uninterrupted working careers and they had experienced less unemployment before retirement. These differences explain the major part of the difference between the two kinds of pension entitlements. However, early retirees also often experienced income decline compared to old age pensioners with a similar working career.

conclusionLower reduced earning capacity pension entitlements are a result of income inequality on the labor market and the increasing long-term unemployment.
