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

objectiveThis study aimed to conduct a comprehensive 16-year analysis of years of potential life lost (YPLL) due to leading causes of death in the United States, focusing on disparities by sex, race/ethnicity, and specific causes of death using the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) data.

methodsData from the NCHS spanning 2000-2016 were included. Age-adjusted YPLL rates per 100,000 population were analyzed, stratified by sex, race/ethnicity, and leading causes of death, including malignant neoplasms, heart disease, and cerebrovascular diseases.

resultsOver 16 years, the total YPLL rate was 7,036.2 per 100,000 population. Males had a higher YPLL rate (8,852.5 per 100,000) than females (5,259.9 per 100,000). Among racial/ethnic groups, Black/African Americans had the highest YPLL rate (10,896.8 per 100,000), followed by American Indian/Alaska Natives (7,310.0 per 100,000), Hispanics/Latinos (5,256.8 per 100,000), and Asians/Pacific Islanders (3,279.7 per 100,000). Leading causes included malignant neoplasms (1,451.6 per 100,000), heart diseases (1,055.4 per 100,000), and cerebrovascular diseases (182.3 per 100,000).

conclusionThis analysis spanning 16 years highlights notable disparities in YPLL rates among different demographic groups. These differences are evident in the YPLL rates for males, which are higher than those for females. The YPLL rate is most pronounced among Black/African Americans, followed by American Indian/Alaska Natives, Hispanics/Latinos, and Asians/Pacific Islanders. The primary contributors to YPLL are malignant neoplasms, heart diseases, and cerebrovascular diseases. These findings emphasize the importance of addressing these disparities to enhance public health outcomes and mitigate the premature loss of life. Despite progress, disparities persist, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and further research.
