Social capital, the miniaturization of community, traditionalism and mortality: A population-based prospective cohort study in southern Sweden.
Article in SSM - population health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectivesTo investigate associations between social capital, miniaturization of community and traditionalism and all-cause, cardiovascular (CVD), cancer and other causes mortality. STUDY
designProspective cohort study.
methodsThe 2008 public health survey in Scania in the southernmost part of Sweden was conducted with a postal questionnaire posted to a stratified random sample aged 18-80. The response rate was 54.1%. The baseline survey was linked to 8.3-year prospective public death register data. Analyses were conducted with survival analyses, adjusting for relevant factors.
resultsAmong women 37.9% had low social participation and 37.8% low trust. Among men 40.9% had low social participation and 35.7% low trust. Low social capital (low social participation/low trust) and traditionalism (low social participation/high trust) have significantly higher total and cardiovascular mortality among women and men combined and among men, but not among women in the final models. The results for women are not significant in the full models for all-cause, CVD, cancer and all other causes mortality. Miniturization of community (high social participation/low trust) displays no statistically significant associations in the adjusted models. Social participation and trust, respectively, and total mortality show consistent Schoenfeld residuals over 8.3 years.
conclusionsThe associations between low social capital, traditionalism and mortality are stronger for men than for women, and may be partly mediated by health-related behaviors.
