Associations between Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm with Cardiovascular Disease and All Cause Death in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) 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
objectiveThis retrospective cohort study of data from the prospective Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study sought to better understand the contemporary risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in diverse populations with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).
methodsClinical event follow up data from 1987 - 2021 were obtained for participants in the ARIC study. Clinical AAA diagnosis was ascertained via participant hospitalisation discharge diagnosis ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes, and defined as an ICD-9-CM code of either 441.3 or 441.4, or ICD-10-CM code I71.3 or I71.4. Screening ultrasound detected AAA was defined as an infrarenal aortic diameter measuring ≥ 3 cm. Multivariable Cox regression was used to explore the associations between clinical AAA as a time dependent variable and subsequent risk of myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and all cause death, after adjusting for potential confounders.
resultsAmong 14 219 ARIC cohort participants without AAA at visit 1, 741 experienced incident AAA during a mean of 25.6 (SD 8.8) years of follow up. A total of 1 890 incident MI and 1 473 incident stroke events occurred, along with 8 647 deaths. Of these, 64 MI, 51 stroke events, and 572 deaths occurred within an average of 6.9 (SD 5.9) years following incident AAA. The incidence rates for MI, stroke, and all cause death among participants with AAA were 17.1, 11.8, and 114 per 1 000 person years of follow up. The adjusted hazard ratio (95% CI) for incident MI among participants with AAA, as compared with those free of AAA, was 2.59 (1.34 - 5.03). Adjusted hazard ratios for stroke and all cause death were 1.60 (1.17 - 2.19) and 1.77 (1.58 - 1.99).
conclusionIn this study, incident AAA was independently associated with future risk of adverse CVD outcomes within a diverse population over an extended follow up period. These results add urgency to recommendations for cardiovascular risk factor management among patients with a diagnosis of AAA.
