Disease-specific drivers of sex- and locality-related disparities in life expectancy at age 65: two decades of progress before COVID-19.
Article in Innovation in 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
Background and Objectives: The distribution of life expectancy at age 65 ( Methods: Using CDC WONDER data (1999-2018) and Pollard's decomposition method, we analyzed cause-specific contributions to disparities in LE Results: Sex-related disparities (YLL Discussion and Implications: The 2 decades before COVID-19 saw a critical divergence: progress in reducing sex-based gaps was offset by rapidly widening geographic disparities. The systemic failures that drove the increasing burden of chronic conditions in disadvantaged regions likely predetermined the populations most vulnerable to the pandemic's shock. Our findings highlight that building future resilience requires targeted investments to address these specific, pre-existing health challenges.
