1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectives1. To investigate health inequalities in the outlying towns around urban Granada. 2. To classify the towns in homogeneous groups according to their demographic, social and economic, and urban environment features, and to contrast these categories with their health situation.

designEcological study using indicators of health and town environment from various sources.

settingThe 29 towns in the periphery of Granada. MEASUREMENTS AND

interventionsThe differences in health of the towns were compared among themselves and with the group formed by all of them together. Cluster analysis was employed in order to classify the towns into homogeneous groups.

resultsIt is noteworthy that only two towns had overall and premature mortality rates above and below the group as a whole. We found marked differences between towns for the other health indicators, with difference ratios up to 6 times greater than the group as a whole, as was the case for incidence of Brucellosis. There were some towns with poorer general conditions on Health and Poverty indexes than the rest. There were 5 clusters or groups of towns with homogeneous characteristics, for which the ratios of all the health indicators of the group with the best conditions were higher than the ratios of the group with the worst conditions.

conclusionsBetter understanding of health inequalities at the small-area level, along with the use of health and poverty indices, help to characterise the place in question and favour the reduction of the inequalities.
