Trends of socioeconomic equality in mortality amenable to healthcare and health policy in 1992-2013 in Finland: a population-based register study.
Article in BMJ open, 2018. 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
objectiveTo study trends in socioeconomic equality in mortality amenable to healthcare and health policy interventions.
designA population-based register study.
settingNationwide data on mortality from the Causes of Death statistics for the years 1992-2013.
participantsAll deaths of Finnish inhabitants aged 25-74. OUTCOME MEASURES: Yearly age-standardised rates of mortality amenable to healthcare interventions, alcohol-related mortality, ischaemic heart disease mortality and mortality due to all the other causes by income. Concentration index (C) was used to evaluate the magnitude and changes in income group differences.
resultsSignificant socioeconomic inequalities favouring the better-off were observed in each mortality category among younger (25-64) and older (65-74) age groups. Inequality was highest in alcohol-related mortality, C was -0.58 (95% CI -0.62 to -0.54) among younger men in 2008 and -0.62 (-0.72 to -0.53) among younger women in 2013. Socioeconomic inequality increased significantly during the study period except for alcohol-related mortality among older women.
conclusionsThe increase in socioeconomic inequality in mortality amenable to healthcare and health policy interventions between 1992 and 2013 suggests that either the means or the implementation of the health policies have been inadequate.
