Age-specific life expectancies across school districts in the United States: Applying a population weighted geographic crosswalk to aggregate census tract indicators.
Article in SSM - population health, 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
As standardized geospatial units with social meaning and direct political governance, school districts may be an optimal functional definition of residential neighborhoods. However, few measures of population health are available at the school district level. In this descriptive study, we implemented a novel application of an established geographic crosswalk framework to estimate population-weighted age-specific life expectancies for all 13,592 school districts in the United States for the years 2010-2015. Our results revealed significant variation in life expectancies across school districts and across the life span - including a gap in life expectancy at birth of almost thirty years. We further identified meaningful differences in the extent of inequalities in life expectancy within states, as measured by standard deviation in school district age-specific life expectancies. These findings highlight the utility of using a crosswalk approach to estimate population health and health disparities at the school district level.
