Association between socioeconomic position and transitions to multimorbidity involving major chronic diseases in Northwest Italy.
Article in npj aging, 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
Multimorbidity, the co-occurrence of multiple chronic conditions in individuals, complicates clinical management, increases healthcare use, and reduces life quality. This study investigates the association between socioeconomic position and multimorbidity, restricted to co-occurrence of two or more conditions among type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, selected cancers as a single category, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and depression, in a population-based cohort in Piedmont, Italy. A multimorbidity registry was built from 2013 to 2019, and diseases were identified through healthcare databases. Multistate models estimated the association between multimorbidity and socioeconomic position, stratifying by sex. Among 1,534,975 individuals, multimorbidity incidence was 1.31 (95% CI: 1.29-1.33) per 100,000 person-days. Lower SEP was associated with higher risk in almost all transitions to T2D and to CVD. In women, borderline significant associations were found from cancer to depression and from COPD to depression, comparing the lowest to the highest SEP. In men, significant associations were found for transitions to COPD as well as from COPD to cancer and from depression to cancer. Lower SEP was consistently associated with higher risks of single diseases and multimorbidity, with some sex-specific patterns. These findings highlight cumulative disadvantage and the need for policies targeting health inequalities in aging populations.
