Trends in mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events following incident acute myocardial infarction.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
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 AND
aimsAssessment of mortality trends and real-world outcomes are important for monitoring acute myocardial infarction (AMI) care, although there is limited data beyond 1-year post incident AMI.
methodsWe used Clinical Practice Research Datalink Aurum to identify patients ≥ 35 with incident AMI between 1 Jan 2006 to 31 Dec 2014. Data was also extracted from three other sources. Risk of all-cause and cardiovascular (CV)-related mortality, incident heart failure (HF), recurrent AMI, and cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) were calculated at 1- and 5-years using regression analysis-2006 was the comparator.
resultsWe identified 94,241 patients with AMI. The 1-year risk for multiple outcomes fell by 2014, including all-cause mortality (hazard ratio (HR): 0.82, 95% CI: 0.75-0.90), CV-related mortality (HR: 0.69, 95% CI: 0.60-0.78), and recurrent AMI (HR 0.72, 95% CI: 0.66-0.79). The 1-year risk for incident HF increased (HR: 1.18, 95% CI: 1.08-1.28) whilst CVA risk did not change (HR: 1.11, 95% CI: 0.98-1.26). At 5-years, the risk fell for all-cause mortality (HR: 0.82, 95% CI: 0.79-0.87), CV-related mortality (HR: 0.68, 95% CI: 0.62-0.74), and recurrent AMI (HR: 0.71, 95% CI: 0.65-0.75) by 2014. The 5-year risk for incident HF increased (HR: 1.15, 95% CI: 1.08-1.23), whilst CVA risk also increased significantly (HR: 1.16, 95% CI: 1.07-1.26) by 2014.
conclusionsAcross 2006-2014, we observed a falling risk of all-cause mortality, CV-related mortality, and recurrent AMI at 1- and 5-years post incident AMI. Countervailing trends were seen for incident HF, where the risk for CVA also increased significantly by 5-years.
