Self-Rated Health as a Predictor of Mortality in Older Adults: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 41 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
The aim of this study was to investigate the link between self-reported health (SRH) and mortality in older adults. In total, 505 studies were found in PubMed and Scopus, of which 26 were included in this review. In total, 6 of the 26 studies included did not find any evidence of an association between SRH and mortality. Of the 21 studies that included community dwellers, 16 found a significant relationship between SRH and mortality. In total, 17 studies involved patients with no specific medical conditions; among these, 12 found a significant link between SRH and mortality. Among the studies in adults with specific medical conditions, eight showed a significant association between SRH and mortality. Among the 20 studies that definitely included people younger than 80 years, 14 found a significant association between SRH and mortality. Of the twenty-six studies, four examined short-term mortality; seven, medium-term mortality; and eighteen, long-term mortality. Among these, a significant association between SRH and mortality was found in 3, 7, and 12 studies, respectively. This study supports the existence of a significant relation between SRH and mortality. A better understanding of the components of SRH might help guide preventive health policies aimed at delaying mortality in the long term.
