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
Introduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major public health concern, and its burden and trends require further clarification. This study aimed to compare the CVD burden between China and the global population and provide projections. Material and methods: Data on CVD metrics from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021. The Joinpoint regression model was applied to analyze long-term trends in age-standardized incidence (ASIR), prevalence (ASPR), mortality (ASMR), and age-standardized disability-adjusted life year (ASDR) rates. Decomposition analysis quantified drivers of change, and autoregressive integrated moving average models projected future trends. Results: From 1990 to 2021, ASMR and ASDR showed significant downward trends in China and globally. However, the ASIR for CVD in China increased from 783.897 to 811.813 per 100,000, while globally it declined from 878.787 to 787.04 per 100,000, with average annual percent change of 0.105% (95% CI: 0.067%, 0.144%) and -0.353% (95% CI: -0.404%, -0.301%), respectively. The upward trend of ASPR in China exceeded the global level. The crude rates of CVD metrics were low among individuals younger than 40 years and then increased with advancing age; sex differences were also observed. Decomposition analysis highlighted population aging as an important driver of increased CVD incidence in China (total population: 41.88%, male: 24.17%, female: 47.81%). Projections suggested that ASIR in China and globally will continue to rise to 825.94 and 807.96 per 100,000, respectively, by 2036, whereas ASMR and ASDR will continue to decline. Conclusions: This study revealed a complex CVD epidemiological landscape in China and globally, with increasing ASPR alongside declining ASMR and ASDR. The ASIR of CVD in China remains significant and is projected to continue increasing.
