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

backgroundOver the past three decades, significant disparities in the global burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) have been observed, particularly CVD attributed to secondhand smoke. However, a comprehensive understanding of global trends and their interaction with secondhand smoke remains inadequate.

methodsUsing Global Burden of Disease data (1990-2019), an age-period-cohort analysis examined temporal trends in CVD mortality among secondhand smoke-exposed populations, considering age, period and cohort interactions.

resultsOver the 30-year period, the global number of CVD deaths attributed to secondhand smoke increased substantially, from 432.6 thousand in 1990 (95% UI: 357.4-508.3) to 598.5 thousand in 2019 (95% UI: 489.7-713.5), representing a 38.4% increase (95% UI: 26.8%-49.5%). In 2019, CVD accounted for 45.9% of all deaths attributable to secondhand smoke among both sexes globally. Among these CVD deaths, ischaemic heart disease predominated, accounting for 66.4% of cases, compared with stroke. The distribution by sex revealed a slightly lower percentage of males (46.5%) than females (53.5%). Age-period-cohort models show overall global decline in CVD mortality due to secondhand smoke over 30 years, with regional, sex and subtype variations. Notably, a higher Sociodemographic Index (SDI) correlated with a greater reduction in mortality, exhibiting a significant 39.1% decrease in high SDI areas (95% UI: 35.6%-42.3%), in stark contrast to the minimal change observed in low SDI areas (0.1%, 95% UI: -52.4%-62.2%).

conclusionsThis study highlights the importance of considering secondhand smoke as a modifiable CVD risk. Further research is needed to understand disparities in CVD burden across development levels, sexes and subtypes.
