Racial Differences in Recurrent Acute Myocardial Infarction: Findings From the ARIC Cohort.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundWe examined racial differences in recurrent nonfatal acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and fatal coronary heart disease (CHD) among ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities) cohort participants who survived a first AMI (1987-2017) and assessed whether socioeconomic and cardiovascular risk factors contribute to observed differences.
methodsWe analyzed 422 Black and 1245 White ARIC participants who survived an incident AMI during follow-up. Incidence rates of recurrent AMI and fatal CHD were calculated by race. Proportional hazards models examined differences after adjustment for socioeconomic and cardiovascular risk factors, with race-sex interactions tested.
resultsThe mean±SD age at the time of the first incident AMI was 69.3±9.0 years for Black and 70.7±9.5 years for White participants. The incidence rate per 1000 person-years was higher in Black participants than White participants both for recurrent nonfatal AMI (incidence rate, 32.4 [95% CI, 26.8-38.8] versus 22.8 [95% CI, 20.2-25.6]) and for fatal CHD (34.2 [95% CI, 28.4-40.7] versus 17.9 [95% CI, 15.7-20.4]). In age- and sex-adjusted models, the hazard ratios comparing Black versus White participants were 1.70 (95% CI, 1.36-2.13) for recurrent nonfatal AMI and 2.10 (95% CI, 1.67-2.34) for fatal CHD. The racial differences were statistically not significant after adjustment for socioeconomic and cardiovascular risk factors. There were no significant race and sex interactions for outcomes.
conclusionsBlack participants have higher rates of recurrent nonfatal AMI and fatal CHD after an initial AMI compared with White participants. These disparities are mostly explained by socioeconomic and cardiovascular risk factors.
