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

Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) and heart failure (HF) remain major contributors to cardiovascular mortality in the United States. This study analyzed national MI- and HF-related mortality trends from 1999 to 2024 and projected rates through 2035. Methods: Mortality data for adults aged ≥25 years with MI- and HF-related deaths (ICD-10 codes I21-I22 and I50) were obtained from CDC WONDER. Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs), standardized to the 2000 U.S. population, were calculated. Temporal trends were assessed using Joinpoint regression to estimate annual percent change (APC) and average annual percent change (AAPC). Forecasts through 2035 were generated using Auto-ARIMA and Prophet models. Results: From 1999 to 2024, 552,835 myocardial infarction (MI)- and heart failure (HF)-related deaths were recorded in the United States. The mean age-adjusted mortality rate (AAMR) across the study period was 9.73 per 100,000 population. The national AAMR declined from 15.32 in 1999 to 7.55 in 2024, with a significant decrease from 1999 to 2012 (APC = -5.39%, Conclusions: Although MI- and HF-related mortality declined substantially from 1999 to 2024, progress slowed after 2012, with persistent demographic and geographic disparities across age, race, region, and rurality. Younger adults, rural populations, and non-Hispanic Black individuals continue to experience disproportionately higher mortality burdens, underscoring the need for equitable prevention strategies and improved cardiovascular care access.
