Impact of low environmental temperatures on the global burden of myocarditis: insights from the 1990-2021 global burden of disease study.

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
backgroundMyocarditis, a condition associated with an elevated risk of heart failure and sudden cardiac death, has been linked to low-environmental temperature exposure. Despite its significant health implications, there has been very limited research to examine the global burden of myocarditis and its association with cold environmental temperatures. This study aimed to comprehensively analyze the impact of low environmental temperatures on myocarditis-related mortality and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) over a 30-year period, providing evidence to inform global public health strategies.
methodsData from the 2021 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database were used to evaluate deaths, DALYs, age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR), age-standardized DALYs rate (ASDR), and estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) with 95% uncertainty intervals (95% UI) for low environmental temperature-related myocarditis. Analyses were conducted at global, regional, and national levels from 1990 to 2021 and stratified by sex, age, sociodemographic index (SDI), region, and country. The frontier analyses assessed the impact of epidemiological drivers and SDI on the burden. The nordpred model validated the predictions.
resultsFrom 1990 to 2021, deaths attributable to low environmental temperature-related myocarditis increased by 32%, rising from 1,405 (95% UI, 1056–1818) in 1990 to 1,855 (95% UI, 1288–2438) in 2021. China reported the highest number of deaths and DALYs, while Romania exhibited the highest ASMR and ASDR. Males were disproportionately affected, and the burden was most pronounced in regions with high-middle and middle SDI. Deaths among individuals over 30 years increased significantly, whereas the ASMR for individuals aged 85 years and above exhibited an inverted V-shaped trend. It is projected that by 2046. Males are expected to experience a greater burden of disability and a higher ASDR compared to females.
conclusionLow-environmental temperature exposure contributes significantly to myocarditis-related mortality and DALYs. Targeted interventions to mitigate the effects of cold exposure, particularly in high-burden regions and vulnerable populations, are essential to improve public health outcomes.
