Progress towards Healthy People 2030 population health goals.
Article in Health affairs scholar, 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
Objective: We aimed to quantify progress towards all 23 Healthy People 2030 leading health indicators (LHIs) national set targets. Understanding progress on these LHIs can guide policy reform that aims to improve US population health. Methods: Cross-sectional analysis based on de-identified, population-level federal data representing the US population, stratified by race, age, gender, income, and education using cluster-based and stratified sampling methods. Results: Of 23 LHIs, 5 were categorized as little to no detectable change, 5 as worsening, 6 as improving, 5 as target met or exceeded, and 2 with no updated current value. Notable improvements included treatment of adolescent depression, reducing binge drinking, and hypertension control, while worsening areas included drug-overdose deaths, homicides, and food insecurity. Inequalities have persisted or widened for most indicators. Conclusion: The United States is lagging or worsening in 10 of 23 Healthy People 2030 LHIs. Understanding the implications of such findings is valuable for highlighting health care gaps, pinpointing areas for improvement, and underscoring the need for action.
