Diverging trends in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a low risk population.
Article in European journal of epidemiology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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
Cardiovascular (CVD) disease morbidity and mortality are changing over the years, following changes in socioeconomic conditions and underlying risk factors. However, the trends of these changes differ among various populations. There is little data regarding these trends in low CVD risk populations. Tables of deaths by cause and age for the period 1956-2007 and tables of hospitalizations for the period 1979-2003 published by the National Statistical Service of Greece were used. Trends over time were determined using log-linear regression models. Age-adjusted all-cause mortality has declined steadily since 1964 in both sexes. CVD mortality initially increased until the late 1980s and subsequently decreased. An increase in mortality from stroke was seen until 1978, especially in men, followed by a decline. Mortality from coronary heart disease (CHD) increased initially, continued to increase for one decade more than stroke and started to decrease in 1989. However, only in women has CHD mortality returned below 1956 levels. As a result, deaths from CHD have surpassed those from stroke. Although the in-hospital fatality of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has decreased by half between 1979 and 2003, deaths from AMI have decreased only slightly, as hospitalization and morbidity rates have increased during the same period. Although the various types of CVD share common risk factors, the trends of their respective mortality rates have differed significantly over the past five decades in the Greek population. This could partly be explained by the fact that risk factors do not equally contribute to CHD and stroke, and they might have not all been equally well controlled.
