The Ecology of Economic Distress and Life Expectancy.

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
Objectives: To determine whether life expectancy (LE) changes between 2000 and 2019 were associated with race, rural status, local economic prosperity, and changes in local economic prosperity, at the county level. Methods: Between 12/1/22 and 2/28/23, we conducted a retrospective analysis of 2000 and 2019 data from 3,123 United States counties. For Total, White, and Black populations, we compared LE changes for counties across the rural-urban continuum, the local economic prosperity continuum, and for counties in which local economic prosperity dramatically improved or declined. Results: In both years, overall, across the rural-urban continuum, and for all studied populations, LE decreased with each progression from the most to least prosperous quintile (all Conclusion: At the county level, race, rurality, and local economic distress were all associated with LE; improvements in local economic conditions were associated with accelerated LE. Policymakers should appreciate the health externalities of investing in areas experiencing poor economic prosperity if their goal is to improve population health.
