Stalled progress and emerging disparities in acute myocardial infarction mortality among U.S. older adults (> 65 Years) with renal failure, 1999-2023.

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
backgroundOlder adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) experience disproportionately high mortality after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Contemporary national trends-and their variation across demographic and geographic strata remain poorly defined.
methodsUsing the CDC WONDER Multiple Cause-of-Death files, we identified U.S. decedents ≥ 65 years in whom ICD-10 codes for AMI and renal failure appeared anywhere on the death certificate between 1999 and 2023. Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRS) per 100,000 population were standardized to the 2000 U.S. census. Joinpoint regression quantified annual per cent change (APC) and inflexion points overall and by sex, race/ethnicity, census region, state, and urban-rural status.
resultsAmong 288,801 AMI-related renal-failure deaths, the AAMR fell from 42.1 in 1999 to 18.5 in 2023. Mortality declined steadily from 1999-2012 (APC - 3.39%; 95% CI - 4.25 to - 1.16) and more sharply from 2012-2015 (APC - 17.82%; 95% CI - 22.98 to - 6.99), but rose thereafter (2015-2023 APC + 3.01%; 95% CI - 0.21 to 16.30). Men carried persistently higher rates than women (overall AAMR 39.2 vs 21.2). Non-Hispanic Black adults had the greatest burden (AAMR 35.8), followed by non-Hispanic American Indian/Alaska Native (34.7) and Asian/Pacific Islander patients (34.2); non-Hispanic White adults had the lowest (26.4). From 2020-2023, AAMRs rebounded across most groups and surged 85% among Asian/Pacific Islanders. Regionally, the South recorded the highest AAMR (28.8), and state-level rates ranged three-fold (Utah 14.5 to Rhode Island 43.0). Non-metropolitan counties consistently exceeded metropolitan areas (34.5 vs 28.1).
conclusionsTwo decades of improvement in AMI mortality among older adults with renal failure have stalled, with a worrisome upturn since 2015 and widening disparities by sex, race, geography, and rurality. These findings underscore the need for cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic-focused prevention, equitable access to acute cardiac care, and tailored post-AMI management to avert further excess deaths in this growing high-risk population.
