Effect of Gentrification and Residential Mobility on Associations Between Historical Redlining and Life Expectancy at Birth.
Article in Journal of urban health : bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine, 2026. 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
Historical redlining, a housing policy applied across numerous cities in the United States in the 1930s, resulted in disinvestment in predominantly non-White, immigrant, or impoverished neighborhoods and has been associated with various adverse health outcomes. However, little is known about the effects of gentrification and residential mobility on health in historically redlined neighborhoods. Using linear regression, we evaluated the association between redlining, gentrification, and life expectancy at birth before and after adjustment for socio-spatial residential mobility in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. Tract-level data on life expectancy were obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Census data were used to define tract gentrification status in 2000-2010 (earlier-gentrification) and 2011-2018 (recent-gentrification). Tract socio-spatial mobility characteristics were defined using DataAxle's household-level data. Life expectancy at birth was generally higher in historically privileged than disadvantaged tracts. After stratification by gentrification status, however, life expectancy in historically disadvantaged (redlined) areas was higher in earlier-gentrified than non-gentrified tracts. This difference was largely explained by socio-spatial mobility, namely a greater influx of moderate- and higher-income households to gentrified and lower-income households to non-gentrified tracts. In redlined tracts, for example, life expectancy in the unadjusted model was 4.7 years lower in non-gentrified than earlier-gentrified tracts (confidence interval: - 6.4, - 2.9); this difference decreased to 1.7 years (- 3.2, - 0.1) after adjustment for socio-spatial mobility. These findings have substantial implications for future public health research, highlighting the importance of including gentrification and/or socio-spatial mobility data when evaluating the association between historical policies, like redlining, and health outcomes in a given geographic area.
