Ten-Year Trends of Persistent Mortality With Gallstone Disease: A Retrospective Cohort Study in New Jersey.
Article in Gastro hep advances, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsRecent trends in mortality with gallstone disease remain scarce in the United States. Yet multiple changes in clinical management, such as rates of endoscopy, cholecystectomy, and cholecystostomy, and insurance access at the state level, may have occurred. Thus, we evaluated recent secular trends of mortality with gallstone disease in New Jersey.
methodsWe performed a retrospective, cohort study of mortality from 2009 to 2018 using the National Center for Health Statistics, Restricted Mortality Files. The primary outcome was any death with an International Classifications of Disease, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification diagnosis code of gallstone disease in New Jersey. Simple linear regression was used to model trends of incidence of death.
results1580 deaths with diagnosed gallstone disease (dGD) occurred from 2009 to 2018. The annual trend of incidence of death was flat over 10 years. The incidence of death with dGD relative to all death changed only from 0.21% to 0.20% over 10 years. These findings were consistent also in 18 of 20 subgroup combinations, although the trend of death with dGD in Latinos 65 years or older increased [slope estimate 0.93, 95% confidence limit 0.42-1.43,
conclusionThe rate of death with dGD showed little change over the recent 10 years in New Jersey. This needs to be reproduced in other states and nationally. A closer examination of the changes in clinical care and insurance access is needed to help understand why they did not result in a positive change in this avoidable cause of death.
