Long-term Trends in Healthy and Unhealthy Life Expectancy Among Adults Aged 60 - A Global Perspective, 1990-2019.
Article in China CDC weekly, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
What is already known about this topic?: Traditionally, life expectancy has served as a pivotal measure for assessing population health. However, there is an increasing focus on distinguishing healthy years of life from those characterized by illness, particularly among the elderly population. What is added by this report?: This study conducts an exhaustive global analysis of the trends in healthy and unhealthy life expectancy among adults aged 60 and over from 1990 to 2019. These trends are further correlated with socio-demographic indicators and health services metrics. What are the implications for public health practice?: Comprehending the dynamics between healthy and unhealthy life years can equip policymakers with the necessary insights to prioritize interventions. These interventions can thereby secure both quality and longevity of life for the increasingly aging population.
