Causes of death and trends in mortality from the year 2000 to 2017 in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Article in Annals of medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo investigate the most common causes of death and trends in cause-specific long-term mortality in patients hospitalized for acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
methodsThis analysis was based on 10,718 patients, aged 25-74 years, recorded by the population-based Myocardial Infarction Registry Augsburg between 2000 and 2017. All hospitalized cases of AMI occurring in the study region during this period were included. If a patient died during follow-up (median: 6.6 years, IQR: 2.8-11.2) the death certificate was obtained and coded using the ICD-10 to determine the main cause of death. Cause-specific mortality was calculated for three 6-year periods. Multivariable adjusted Cox regression models stratified by time interval were calculated.
resultsThe most common cause of death was cardiovascular disease (CVD), more precisely ischemic-heart disease (IHD), followed by cancer. The proportions of CVD deaths and IHD deaths were stable over time. An increasing trend was observed in cancer mortality in post-AMI patients. In male patients, the hazard ratio for cancer mortality was 44.4% higher in 2012-2017 compared to 2000-2005, in female patients, it was more than twice as high in 2006-2012 compared to 2000-2005.
conclusionThis study revealed consistent CVD and IHD long-term mortality and increasing trends in long-term cancer mortality in patients post-AMI. Thus, post-AMI patients should emphasize tertiary prevention of CVD by minimizing risk factors. Furthermore, patients should regularly undergo cancer screening programs. The reasons for the unfavorable development in terms of increasing cancer mortality should be investigated in further studies.
