Regional and socioeconomic disparities in cardiovascular disease in Canada during 2005-2016: evidence from repeated nationwide cross-sectional surveys.

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
introductionThe objective of this study is to examine the temporal trends and patterns of regional and socioeconomic disparities in cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Canada during 2005-2016.
methodsA total of 670 000 adults aged ≥20 years who participated in the Canadian Community Health Surveys between 2005 and 2016 were enrolled for this study. CVD referred to heart disease and stroke in this study. Equivalised household income was used as a proxy of socioeconomic status. Absolute and relative socioeconomic inequalities were measured by slope index of inequality (SII) and relative index of inequality (RII), respectively.
resultsIn 2015/2016, the overall age-adjusted and sex-adjusted prevalence of heart disease and stroke was 4.80% (95% CI 4.61% to 4.98%) and 1.25% (95% CI 1.13% to 1.36%), respectively. Trend analyses suggested a significant decline in the age-adjusted and sex-adjusted prevalence of heart disease (P for trend <0.001) and a non-significant decline in the age-adjusted and sex-adjusted prevalence of stroke (P for trend=0.058) from 2005 to 2016. Nevertheless, the total number of adults suffering from heart disease and stroke increased by 8.9% and 20.2% over the study period, respectively. Moreover, the age-adjusted and sex-adjusted prevalence of heart disease and stroke varied widely across all health regions, and both of them tended be higher among those with lower income. The SII and RII indicated that there were persistent absolute and relative socioeconomic inequalities in heart disease and stroke across all surveys (eg, SII for heart disease in both sexes, 2005: 0.04 (95% CI 0.03 to 0.04); 2015/2016: 0.03 (95% CI, 0.02 to 0.04); RII for heart disease in both sexes, 2005: 1.99 (95% CI 1.75 to 2.27); 2015/2016: 1.77 (95% CI 1.52 to 2.08).
conclusionGeographical and socioeconomic disparities should be taken into account during the further efforts to strengthen preventive measures and optimise healthcare resources for heart disease and stroke in Canada.
