Trends in ischemic heart disease mortality among older adults with co-existing colorectal cancer in the US (1999-2023): a 25-Year retrospective 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
introductionIschemic heart disease (IHD) continues to be the primary cause of death among older adults in the United States (U.S.), while colorectal cancer (CRC), being the 3rd most common cancer, contributes to increased mortality when co-occurs with IHD. This study examines national trends in IHD mortality from 1999 to 2023 among older adults with co-existing CRC.
methodsThe study retrospectively analyzed death certificates from the CDC's Wide-ranging ONline Data for Epidemiologic Research (WONDER) database, including older adults (aged ≥ 65 years) who listed IHD as the underlying cause of death while CRC was a contributing cause. Crude and age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) per 100,000 individuals, as well as the annual percent change (APC) in AAMRs with a 95% confidence interval, were obtained.
resultsA total of 43,417 deaths were attributed to IHD among patients with coexisting CRC. AAMR declined significantly throughout the study, being more prominent from 2003 to 2016 (APC - 8.65; p < 0.05). Males (6.3) had doubled the AAMR that of females (3.1). Non-Hispanic (NH) African Americans represented the highest AAMR (4.5), followed by other races/ethnicities. Regionally, peak AAMR was observed in the northeast (5.7) and non-metropolitan areas (4.7).
conclusionsA substantial (75%) reduction in AAMR was observed from 1999 to 2023. However, disparities across different demographical and geographical highlight the need for targeted interventions to lower IHD burned among patients with co-existing CRC.
