Causes of Death and Mortality Trends in Individuals with Thalassemia in the United States, 1999-2020.
Article in Journal of blood medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Purpose: Our study aims to describe the mortality trends and disparities among individuals with thalassemia in the United States (US). Patients and Methods: We used CDC WONDER database to calculate the age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) per 1,000,000 individuals and used the Joinpoint Regression Program to measure the average annual percent change (AAPC). Subgroup evaluations were performed by sex, age, race, census region, and urbanization level. Results: From 1999 to 2020, there were 2797 deaths relatd to thalassemia in the US. The AAMR of thalassemia-related death showed a decreasing trend from 0.50 (95% CI, 0.41-0.58) in 1999 to 0.48 (95% CI, 0.41-0.55) in 2020 with the AAPC of -1.42 (95% CI, -2.42, -0.42). Asians have the highest AAMR (1.34 [95% CI, 1.20-1.47]), followed by non-Hispanic Blacks (0.65 [95% CI, 0.59-0.71]), non-Hispanic Whites (0.32 [95% CI, 0.30-0.33]), and Hispanics (0.11 [95% CI, 0.08-0.14]). Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death among individuals with thalassemia. The urban population has a higher AAMR than the rural population (0.43 [95% CI, 0.41-0.45] vs 0.29 [95% CI, 0.26-0.32]). Conclusion: Our study calls for targeted interventions to address the racial and geographic disparities existed among individuals of thalassemia in the US.
