Divergent trends in the incidence and mortality of acute myocardial ischaemic syndrome, especially in women. Evidence from Finland in 1996-2021.
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 4 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
objectiveAlthough the incidence and case fatality (CF) of acute myocardial ischaemic syndrome (AMIS) have declined in recent decades, some studies have suggested a potential stagnation in this decline. We examined if a similar development in AMIS trends can be observed in Finland from 1996 to 2021 among persons aged 35-74 years.
methodsWe linked Finnish country-wide Hospital Discharge- and Causes of Death- Registers covering the first non-fatal and fatal myocardial ischaemic events (total 69 906 442 person-years at risk). We analyzed the incidence, mortality, and 28-day CF and their trends using negative binomial, Poisson, segmented and logistic regression adjusting for age and sex.
resultsThe analysis consisted of 186 489 non-fatal and 72 907 fatal myocardial ischaemic events. AMIS incidence declined in men (annual percentage change (APC) -2.0%) and in older women (APC of 55-64 years -1.5%; 65-74 years -3.3%) during the study period. However, the incidence decline slowed down over the last decade in oldest age groups and stopped overall in women. Incidence was unchanged during the study period in younger women aged 35-54 years. AMIS mortality and CF declined (APC of mortality in men -4.4%; in women -5.0%; APC of CF in men -2.7%; in women -3.3%).
conclusionsAMIS mortality declined in all groups, but the decline in AMIS incidence slowed down and even stopped in women. Incidence was unchanged during the study period in women aged 35-54 years. These results emphasize the need for further efforts in prevention of cardiovascular disease, particularly in young and middle-aged women.
