Risk of Cerebro-Cardiovascular Diseases among Police Officers and Firefighters: A Nationwide Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Yonsei medical journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposePolice officers and firefighters are exposed to risk factors for cerebro-cardiovascular diseases, and the actual risk is expected to increase compared with other occupational groups. The present study aimed to estimate the risks of cerebro-cardiovascular diseases in police officers and firefighters compared to other occupational groups. MATERIALS AND
methodsUsing the National Health Insurance Service data, we constructed a retrospective cohort of public officers. Three-year consecutive health insurance registration data were used to identify police officers and firefighters. Cerebro-cardiovascular diseases consisted of acute myocardial infarction, other ischemic heart disease, cardiac arrhythmia, and stroke. We compared the incidences of cerebro-cardiovascular diseases between each of the two occupational groups (police officers and firefighters) and other public officers by calculating standardized incidence ratios (SIRs).
resultsSIRs and 95% confidence intervals of all cerebro-cardiovascular diseases for police officers and firefighters were 1.71 (1.66-1.76) and 1.22 (1.12-1.31), respectively, as compared with all public officers. The incidence ratios remained significantly higher compared to general and education officers. Subgroup analyses for myocardial infarction, stroke, and cardiac arrhythmia exhibited significant increases in incidence ratios among police officers and firefighters.
conclusionThis study suggests that both police officers and firefighters are at high risk of cerebro-cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, medical protection measures for these occupational groups should be improved.
