Excess cardiovascular mortality across multiple COVID-19 waves in the United States from March 2020 to March 2022.
Article in Nature cardiovascular research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 44 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
The COVID-19 pandemic has limited the access of patients with cardiovascular diseases to healthcare services, causing excess deaths. However, a detailed analysis of temporal variations of excess cardiovascular mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic has been lacking. Here we estimate time-varied excess cardiovascular deaths (observed deaths versus expected deaths predicted by the negative binomial log-linear regression model) in the United States. From March 2020 to March 2022 there were 90,160 excess cardiovascular deaths, or 4.9% more cardiovascular deaths than expected. Two large peaks of national excess cardiovascular mortality were observed during the periods of March-June 2020 and June-November 2021, coinciding with two peaks of COVID-19 deaths, but the temporal patterns varied by state, age, sex and race and ethnicity. The excess cardiovascular death percentages were 5.7% and 4.0% in men and women, respectively, and 3.6%, 8.8%, 7.5% and 7.7% in non-Hispanic White, Black, Asian and Hispanic people, respectively. Our data highlight an urgent need for healthcare services optimization for patients with cardiovascular diseases in the COVID-19 era.
