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

Purpose: To assess long-term premature mortalities in Japan for providing evidence of strategies for sustainable development in population health. Methods: Descriptive study for observing the trends of premature mortalities due to 10 major causes and all-cause in Japan was conducted using governmental statistics taken between 2011 and 2019. Years of life lost (YLL) was calculated for each cause, and the trends of these were examined by joinpoint regression analysis. Results: The means of YLL for all-cause through 2011 to 2019 were 8,121,565.1 in males and 6,743,198.4 in females. For each cause, the trends of age-standardized YLL were downward except for malignant neoplasm of pancreas and heart failure in males, and malignant neoplasm of pancreas, malignant neoplasm of breast, and age-related physical debility in females. One significant joinpoint for heart failure was found in males, and one significant joinpoint for each of malignant neoplasm of pancreas and age-related physical debility were found in females. Conclusions: Premature mortalities due to malignant neoplasm of pancreas in both sexes, heart failure in males and malignant neoplasm of breast in females were issues to be prioritized for promoting population health in Japan.
