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
Objective: This study aims to assess the comprehensive national trends in deaths related to pneumonia and AMI in the US from 1999 to 2023. Methods: CDC wonder multiple cause of death database was used to extract data of elderly (≥65 years) with pneumonia and AMI as main or contributing cause of death. Age-Adjusted Mortality Rates (AAMRs) per 100,000 population were calculated. Trends were stratified by sex, race/ethnicity, state, urban-rural classification, census region, ten-year age group, and place of death. Results: A total of 186,411 deaths associated with pneumonia and AMI during 1999-2023 were identified. The cumulative AAMR was 17.76 during 1999-2020, and 14.2 during 2021-2023. A significant decline in AAMR was found through the study period (AAPC:-4.26, 95% CI -6.71 to -1.74). The AAMR of men was higher than women, and the decrease of AAMR was steeper in women (AAPC:-4.38, 95% CI -6.78 to -1.92 among women vs. -4.07, 95% CI -5.68 to -2.43 among men). NH American Indian or Alaska Native has the highest AAMR, while NH Asian or Pacific Islander had the lowest AAPC (-5.03, 95% CI -7.95 to -2.02). Non-metropolitan had higher AAMR (22.93 vs. 16.59) and AAPC (-1.69 vs. -3.51) than metropolitan. South region showed the highest AAMR and AAPC compared to other census regions. Conclusions: The AAMR per 100,000 of pneumonia and AMI decreased among older adults in the US during 1999-2023, with higher mortality burden among men, NH American Indian or Alaska Native, rural area, and South region.
