Measuring economic lifespan inequality: a new indicator of poverty-free lifespan across Europe.
Article in Population health metrics, 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
While Poverty-Free Life Expectancy captures the average number of years individuals are expected to live above the poverty threshold, it fails to account for disparities in the distribution of these years across the population. Inspired by recent developments in the measurement of Healthy Lifespan Inequality, we propose a new indicator: Poverty-Free Lifespan Inequality. This paper introduces the formal definition of Poverty-Free Lifespan Inequality, elaborates its mathematical foundations, and discusses its policy relevance. Using Sullivan-type methods and age-specific poverty prevalence data, we derive the distribution of exit from poverty-free life and compute inequality using the Gini index. We demonstrate that Poverty-Free Lifespan Inequality provides critical insights into the heterogeneity of economic well-being over the life course.
