Developments in life expectancy in Germany. Current trends.
Article in Journal of health monitoring, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Since the beginning of the 1990s, life expectancy in Germany has increased by 4.2 years among women (to 83.2 years), and by 5.9 years among men (to 78.4 years). This rise is related to the increasing convergence of life expectancy in Germany's new and old federal states. Recently, life expectancy among women in the new federal states has even risen slightly above the level found in the old federal states. In addition, differences between socioeconomic groups continue to be observed in Germany. Women in the highest income group have a 4.4-year longer life expectancy than women in the lowest income group. Similarly, an 8.6-year difference exists between men in the highest income group and men in the lowest income group. Influenza waves can adversely affect the development of life expectancy in certain calendar years. In comparison to other European countries, Germany has a mid-range life expectancy: the current difference between life expectancy in Germany and Switzerland (the European country with the highest life expectancy) is 2.7 years.
