An assessment of cardiovascular disease hospitalizations and disparities by race in patients with rheumatic disease hospitalizations in Alaska, 2015-2018.

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
backgroundThere is an increased risk of cardiovascular disease in people with many rheumatic diseases. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate cardiovascular disease hospitalizations in Alaska for people with and without a rheumatic disease diagnosis and assess disparities by race, with a focus on Alaska Native and American Indian people.
methodsThis study used the Alaska Health Facilities Data Reporting Program data on inpatient hospitalizations from 2015 to 2018. We identified people with a rheumatic disease diagnosis based on any hospitalization with a set of rheumatic disease diagnoses and compared them to people hospitalized but without a rheumatic disease diagnosis. We determined the odds of cardiovascular disease hospitalization by rheumatic disease diagnosis and assessed the influence of race and other factors, using univariate analyses and multivariable models.
resultsPeople with a rheumatic disease diagnosis other than osteoarthritis had higher odds of cardiovascular disease hospitalization. The odds ratio was highest in people with gout compared to other rheumatic diseases. In multivariable models, there was an interaction between race and rheumatic disease status. Specifically, having gout increased the odds of cardiovascular disease hospitalization for people of all races, while having a rheumatic disease other than gout or osteoarthritis increased the odds of cardiovascular disease hospitalization in Alaska Native/American Indian people but not in people of other races.
conclusionsThe association between rheumatic disease status and cardiovascular disease hospitalization in Alaska varied by type of rheumatic disease and race. This adds substantially to the literature on associations between rheumatic disease and cardiovascular disease in Indigenous North American populations.
