Contribution of chronic diseases to educational disparity in disability in France: results from the cross-sectional "disability-health" survey.
Article in Archives of public health = Archives belges de sante publique, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThis study aimed 1) to assess whether the contribution of chronic conditions to disability varies according to the educational attainment, 2) to disentangle the contributions of the prevalence and of the disabling impact of chronic conditions to educational disparities.
methodsData of the 2008-09 Disability Health Survey were examined (
resultsIn men, the main contributors to educational difference in disability prevalence were arthritis (contribution to disability prevalence: 5.7% (95% CI 5.4-6.0) for low-educated vs. 3.3% (3.0-3.9) for high-educated men), spine disorders (back/neck pain, deformity) (3.8% (3.6-4.0) vs. 1.9% (1.8-2.1)), chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (2.4% (2.3-2.6) vs. 0.6% (0.5-0.7)) and ischemic heart /peripheral artery diseases (4.1% (3.9-4.3) vs. 2.4% (2.2-3.0)). In women, arthritis (9.5% (9.1-9.9) vs. 4.5%, (4.1-5.2)), spine disorders (4.5% (4.3-4.7) vs. 2.1% 1.9-2.3) and psychiatric diseases (3.1% (3.0-3.3) vs. 1.1% (1.0-1.3)) contributed most to education gap in disability. The educational differences were equally explained by differences in the disease prevalence and in their disabling impact.
conclusionsPublic health policies aiming to reduce existing socioeconomic disparities in disability should focus on musculoskeletal, pulmonary, psychiatric and ischemic heart diseases, reducing their prevalence as well as their disabling impact in lower socioeconomic groups.
