Pandemic-Era Shifts in Life Expectancy in Hawai'i, 2018-2022.
Article in Asia-Pacific journal of public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The COVID-19 pandemic was assoicated with a significant drop in US life expectancy, with a 2.4-year decline from 2019 to 2021. This study evaluated if changes in life expectancy in Hawai'i followed the national trend from 2018 to 2022. We calculated life expectancy at birth for Hawai'i's overall, male, and female populations from 2018 to 2022 using Chiang's abridged life table method, with data from the Hawai'i State Department of Health and population estimates from the American Community Survey and 2020 Census. Life expectancy in Hawai'i was stable from 2018 to 2020, then declined by 1.3 years in 2021 to 80.7, with a partial rebound to 81.2 in 2022. Males saw a drop from 79.2 years in 2018 to 77.5 in 2021, rising to 78.2 in 2022, while females declined from 85.4 years in 2018 to 84.0 in 2021, rebounding slightly to 84.4 in 2022. Hawai'i's COVID-19 response shows that early interventions and high vaccine uptake reduce mortality and preserve life expectancy. Future policy should focus on rapid-response systems and maintaining high vaccination rates.
