Trends in Mortalities due to Sudden Cardiac Arrest in the United States Population.
Article in Journal of arrhythmia, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background: Sudden cardiac arrest is a leading cause of cardiovascular mortality, often occurring without warning and resulting in high fatality rates. Despite advances in prevention and emergency response, disparities in mortality remain rampant across demographic and geographic groups. This study examines long-term trends in sudden cardiac arrest-related mortality in the United States from 1999 to 2023, stratified by sex, race/ethnicity, region, and urbanization level. Methods: Mortality data was extracted from the CDC WONDER database. Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) were calculated per 100 000 persons using the 2000 U.S. standard population. Joinpoint regression analysis was applied to estimate annual percent changes (APCs) and identify significant shifts in mortality trends. Results: A total of 8 523 980 SCA deaths were reported during the study period. Overall, the AAMR declined from 196.03 in 1999 to 131.55 in 2023, with the most marked reductions observed after 2021 (APC: -9.63; 95% CI: -13.51 to -5.20; Conclusions: Mortality due to sudden cardiac arrest has declined substantially over the past 25 years, likely driven by improvements in cardiovascular prevention, acute care, and resuscitation practices. However, significant sex, racial, and regional disparities persist, highlighting the need for interventions that are tailored to reduce inequities and improve survival from sudden cardiac arrest.
