Emergency Department Utilization for Acute Myocardial Infarction, U.S., May-September 2018-2023.
Article in AJPM focus, 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
Introduction: Exposure to extreme heat and wildfire-related hazards, such as poor air quality, can increase the risk of acute cardiovascular events. This study assessed whether acute myocardial infarction-related emergency department visits increased in 2023-a year of increased heat and wildfire smoke exposure in the U.S.-compared with visits in the 5 preceding years combined. Methods: This serial cross-sectional study identified acute myocardial infarction-related emergency department visits among adults aged ≥18 years from National Syndromic Surveillance Program data using discharge diagnosis codes. Daily mean acute myocardial infarction-related emergency department visit rates per 100,000 all-cause emergency department visits during May-September 2023 were compared with those during May-September 2018-2022 for adults overall and by subgroup. Results: During May-September 2023, the daily acute myocardial infarction-related emergency department visit rate (699.5 acute myocardial infarction-related emergency department visits per 100,000) was 16.5% (95% CI=14.8, 18.2) higher than the rate in 2018-2022 (600.4 acute myocardial infarction-related emergency department visits per 100,000). Overall, acute myocardial infarction-related emergency department visit rates increased across age groups, in both sexes, and in most HHS regions. HHS Regions 2 and 4 reported the largest relative increases in acute myocardial infarction-related emergency department visit rate (27.0% [95% CI=22.9, 31.4] and 30.0% [95% CI=27.7, 32.5], respectively). Conclusions: Acute myocardial infarction-related emergency department visit rates were higher in May-September 2023 than in May-September 2018-2022. Near real-time surveillance data can be leveraged to monitor emergency department visits for acute cardiovascular conditions across different time periods to inform clinical and public health practices.
