Mortality and admissions for cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases after the Accumoli-Amatrice 2016 earthquake.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThe aim of this study is to evaluate if the mortality and hospital admissions for cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases (CCVDs), with a specific focus on acute myocardial infarction (AMI), significantly increased within 12 months after the 2016 Accumoli-Amatrice earthquake in the 17 most hit municipalities.
methodsA diff-in-diff regression model was applied to the annual occurrences to assess the differences in the mortality and hospitalization for selected CCVDs before and after the Earthquake in the area most hit by the earthquake compared to a surrounding area. A focus analysis on acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was performed.
resultsThe analysis of mortality showed a significant increase in the death rate for AMI in the year immediately following the earthquake with +1.7 cases per 10,000 (95% CI: 1.53-1.87). A significantly increased number of hospital admissions and deaths for AMI was also noticed.
conclusionsEvaluating the epidemiology of CCVDs events related to natural disasters, might contribute to provide information for the population dealing with future events and can be used to improve preparedness in rescue and life-saving medical interventions during and after the earthquake.
