The weight of risk: epidemiological trends in mortality involving cardiac arrest and obesity in the United States (1999-2023).

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: Obesity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, yet its role in cardiac arrest (CA) mortality remains a growing public health concern. This study analyzed disparities in mortality involving CA and obesity by age, sex, race/ethnicity, and geographic region. Methods: Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) per million in adults (25 years or older) were obtained from CDC WONDER using ICD-10 codes for obesity (E66) and CA (I46). Joinpoint regression estimated Annual Percent Change (APC) and Average APC (AAPC), with significance at Results: Between 1999 and 2023, a total of 128,550 deaths involving CA and obesity, with most deaths in medical facilities (58.8%). The AAMR rose from 11.3 in 1999 to 32.5 in 2023 (AAPC: 4.45%, 95% CI: 3.72-5.01, Conclusion: Mortality involving CA and obesity has been rising, with significant disparities in older men, NH Blacks and Whites, those from the West, and rural communities. The increasing burden underscores the need for targeted prevention strategies. Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40200-026-02037-9.
