Life Expectancy Changes During the COVID-19 Pandemic, 2019-2021: Highly Racialized Deaths in Young and Middle Adulthood in the United States as Compared With Other High-Income Countries.
Article in American journal of epidemiology, 2024. 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
We estimated changes in life expectancy between 2019 and 2021 in the United States (in the total population and separately for 5 racial/ethnic groups) and 20 high-income peer countries. For each country's total population, we decomposed the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 changes in life expectancy by age. For US populations, we also decomposed the life expectancy changes by age and number of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) deaths. Decreases in US life expectancy in 2020 (1.86 years) and 2021 (0.55 years) exceeded mean changes in peer countries (a 0.39-year decrease and a 0.23-year increase, respectively) and disproportionately involved COVID-19 deaths in midlife. In 2020, Native American, Hispanic, Black, and Asian-American populations experienced larger decreases in life expectancy and greater losses in midlife than did the White population. In 2021, the White population experienced the largest decrease in US life expectancy, although life expectancy in the Native American and Black populations remained much lower. US losses during the pandemic were more severe than in peer countries and disproportionately involved young and middle-aged adults, especially adults of this age in racialized populations. The mortality consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic deepened a US disadvantage in longevity that has been growing for decades and exacerbated long-standing racial inequities in US mortality.
