National estimates of mortality of unintentional drowning in China from 1990 to 2021 and its predicted level in the next decade: results from the global burden of disease study 2021.

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
Background: It is reported that burden of unintentional drowning deaths is high in low- and middle-income countries. In recent decades, China has achieved remarkable economic growth and substantial advancements in infrastructure development; however, the understanding of the unintentional drowning burden in China has lagged behind. This article aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the current unintentional drowning situation in China. Methods: Unintentional drowning from GBD 2021 was estimated for cause-specific mortality and, age, sex, and temporal trends from 1990 to 2021. In addition, we used decomposition analysis to quantify the drivers of changes in unintentional drowning from 1990 to 2021 and we also predicted the mortality of unintentional drowning in the next 10 years based on APC model. Results: In 2021, the deaths attributable to unintentional drowning in China were 57554.02 (95% UI: 47463.15~69111.96), corresponding to age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) of 4.12 (95% UI: 3.39 ~ 4.96) per 100,000 population. The mortality rate was relatively high among children aged 0-10 years and individuals aged 60 years and above and the highest number of deaths were recorded in the age groups of <5 years (3753.78, 95% UI: 2834.88 ~ 4903.46), 5-9 years (4938.93, 95% UI: 4207.74 ~ 5751.58), and 10-14 years (4197.10, 95% UI: 3581.12 ~ 4819.72). The mortality of unintentional drowning was higher for males than females across all age groups. A decline in unintentional drowning mortality rates was observed from 1990 to 2021, with an average annual percentage change (AAPC) of -4.19%. Epidemiological changes were the primary contributors to the observed decline in unintentional drowning deaths (decreased by 124985.81). The ASMR of unintentional drowning would continue to decrease slowly at the national level and that the decreasing trends would be stable in the future. Conclusion: From 1990 to 2021, the mortality rate of unintentional drowning in China showed a downward trend. Males, children under 10 years old, and older adult people aged 65 and above were identified as high-risk factors for drowning. The research findings emphasize the importance of continuing to strengthen data collection systems, identifying risk factors, and developing drowning prevention strategies tailored to China's national conditions.
