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

The increase in the logarithm of mortality with age from 40 years onward can be described by a Gompertz linear relationship with two parameters. The long-term relationship between these two parameters can itself be described by another linear relationship known as the Strehler-Mildvan (SM) correlation. Long-term data from three countries were evaluated in the context of the SM correlation. The earliest available periods were 1751-1754 for Sweden, 1816-1819 for France, and 1850-1854 for the Netherlands, while the most recent periods were 2020-2021 for France and the Netherlands, and 2020-2023 for Sweden. The best agreement with the SM model was observed in Sweden, and the weakest in France. While the SM correlation model generally describes long-term trends well, it can be significantly disrupted over shorter calendar periods. If we view the population as a dynamic system, then large short-term shocks-such as World War I-can temporarily break the SM correlation. Over time, however, the system tends to return to an equilibrium state in which the SM model becomes applicable again.
