1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This study explored the relationship between a multidimensional typology of religiosity and risk of mortality. Using data from middle-aged Southern California respondents in the Longitudinal Study of Generations, we performed latent class analysis to construct a typology of religiosity, which was then used to predict mortality from 1971 to 2020. We identified four religiosity classes: strongly, weakly, privately, and liberally religious. Cox proportional hazard models revealed that privately religious males had greater mortality risk than strongly religious males, even after controlling for the mediators self-rated health and psychological wellbeing. In women, risk of mortality was explained by these mediators rather than by religiosity.
