Environmental and ethnic differences in short-term risk of first acute myocardial infarction: a prospective multiethnic cohort protocol.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide, with substantial variation across populations shaped by environmental conditions, geographic context, and healthcare accessibility. However, current risk assessment approaches based on baseline measurements may not adequately capture short-term risk or population heterogeneity. Methods and analysis: This multicentre prospective cohort study will recruit 2,340 adults aged 20-85 years with an estimated 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk ≥20%. Participants will be enrolled from five hospitals in Gansu Province, China, representing variation in ethnicity, altitude, and healthcare access, including Han, Hui, Tibetan, and Kazakh populations. Baseline assessments will include standardized questionnaires, clinical evaluation, and cardiometabolic profiling. Participants will be followed every 3 months for 24 months, with repeated measurements of behavioral, physiological, and biomarker indicators, including wearable electrocardiographic monitoring. Environmental exposures and healthcare accessibility will be assigned using geospatial data. The primary outcome is first incident AMI. Time-to-event models with time-varying variables will be used to examine how within-individual changes in risk indicators are associated with AMI across environmental and ethnic contexts. Ethics and dissemination: The study has been approved by the Ethics Committee of Gansu Provincial Hospital. Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants. Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and scientific presentations. Clinical trial registration: ChiCTR2500104518.
