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

aimsPrevious studies on childhood socioeconomic position (CSEP) and health have mostly focused on outcomes in early to mid-life or relied on recalled CSEP in adulthood. The objective of this study was to investigate the association of prospectively measured CSEP with a variety of health outcomes in mid to old age among residents in Northern Norway.

methodsThis study linked health data from the population-based Tromsø Study to the Historical Population Register of Norway. Using Cox proportional hazards models, logistic and ordinal logistic regression, we investigated sex-specific associations between fathers' occupation in 1950 and all-cause mortality (

resultsSelf-rated health showed the strongest association with CSEP and a clear social gradient that was more pronounced among women. We found only minor differences in all-cause mortality and varying patterns for prevalence of chronic diseases by CSEP. High CSEP was associated with lower prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases for both women and men, and higher odds for cancer among women. Associations were attenuated when educational level was included in the models.
