A Comparative Analysis of the Determinants of Male, Female, and Total Life Expectancy in United States and China.
Article in American journal of men's health. 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
Health is wealth, and ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all are fundamental to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG-3) and fostering sustainable socioeconomic development. Previous studies have primarily examined the economic, social, or institutional determinants of life expectancy (LE) in isolation, with limited attention given to their combined effects within a comprehensive analytical framework for China and United States. To address this gap, the present study investigates the determinants of LE by integrating environmental, economic, social, and institutional factors. Specifically, CO2 emissions (CO2e) represent the environmental dimension; GDP and health expenditure capture the economic dimension; population growth and education reflect the social dimension; the rule of law and government effectiveness represent institutional quality. This study estimates three separate models for male life expectancy (MLE), female life expectancy (FLE), and total life expectancy (TLE) using the ARDL model, with the FMOLS estimator employed to assess the robustness of the long-run results. The findings reveal that CO2e and population growth adversely affect MLE, FLE, and TLE in both China and the United States. In contrast, GDP, health expenditure, education, the rule of law, and government effectiveness significantly improve LE across all three models. From a policy perspective, these countries' governments should prioritize reducing CO2e through cleaner energy technologies and stricter environmental regulations while continuing to invest in healthcare systems and educational development. Strengthening institutional quality by enhancing the rule of law and improving government effectiveness can further increase the efficiency and accessibility of health services, thereby contributing to longer LE in both China and the United States.
