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

backgroundSudden cardiac death (SCD) represents a public health concern globally. Given the lack of large-scale comprehensive studies on the epidemiologic features and spatial clustering of SCD in general populations, particularly in the context of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in China, this study aims to enrich the evidence base by analyzing its current situation in Shandong Province.

methodsCounty-level data from Shandong Province (2020-2021) were used to investigate whether the incidence of SCD varied by age and sex, between urban and rural areas, among different regions, and explored whether a trend toward concentration in its temporal and spatial distribution was evident.

resultsShandong Province reported a total of 30 458 cases of SCD from 2020 to 2021, peaking in January to April. Most cases occurred in the older population, aged ≥65 years, comprising 78.70% of the total mortality (23 972/30 458). The male/female ratio for the average annual crude and age-standardized mortality rates was 1:0.98 and 1:0.75, respectively, whereas the urban/rural ratio was 1:1.61 and 1:1.40, respectively. Global spatial autocorrelation analysis revealed significant clustering trends of age-standardized mortality rates for both years (Moran

conclusionsThe mortality of SCD in Shandong Province during 2020 to 2021 demonstrated significant spatial clustering, with higher mortality during winter and spring. Rural older men were identified as a high-risk group. The mortality of SCD increased significantly with age.
