Incidence and risk factors associated with atrioventricular block in the general population: the atherosclerosis risk in communities study and Cardiovascular Health Study.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesTo identify risk factors correlated with atrioventricular block (AVB) in the general population.
methodsParticipants in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study (ARIC) and the Cardiovascular Health study (CHS) were enrolled. The presence of AVB was confirmed at an electrocardiogram (ECG) reading center using Minnesota ECG Classification. Cox proportional hazards models were performed to investigate potential risk factors of AVB, after adjustment for age, sex, race and traditional cardiovascular risk factors.
resultsDuring the 17 years of follow-up, a total of 731 high-degree AVB cases were identified. Age and sex-standardized rate of AVB was 2.79 and 2.35 per 1000 person-years in the white and the black population, respectively. With the increase of the geriatric population, the incidence of high-degree AVB will increase from 378,816 in 2020 to 535,076 in 2060, and most increment would occur among the elderly. Older age, male sex, the white race, overweight, comorbidities, declined forced vital capacity (FVC), elevated inflammation biomarkers, left bundle branch block and bifascicular block were independently associated with the incidence of high-degree AVB.
conclusionTo conclude, older age, male sex, white population, overweight, combined diabetes or chronic kidney disease, impaired FVC, elevated inflammation biomarkers, left bundle branch block and bifascicular block were independent predictors for high-degree AVB. The next 40 years would witness a dramatic increase in the incidence of high-degree AVB.
