There was a rise to 6,000 by 1978 which was followed by an decrease to 3,000 by 1998.

With the same meaning, can I use "led to" and "preceded" instead of the underlined words?

There are no underlined words, Jinmin.

@jinmin1988,
No.

I'm not at all sure what "led to" and "preceded" are intended to replace, but there is nothing in the original statement that says anything was led to by something else.
