Shifting temporal trends and disparities in sarcoidosis mortality in the United States: A retrospective analysis from 1999 to 2020.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It carries an expression of concern. Cited by 6 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
introductionSarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease characterized by granulomas, the etiology of which remains unclear. This study examines sarcoidosis-related mortality trends in the United States from 1999 to 2020, with a focus on disparities pertaining to patient sex, geographical location, and urbanization status.
methodsWe analyzed death certificate data from the CDC WONDER database, using ICD-10 code D86. Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMR) per 1,000,000 people were calculated. Trends were analyzed using Joinpoint regression models to determine annual percentage changes (APC).
resultsA total of 37,956 Sarcoidosis-related deaths were documented from 1999 to 2020 in the United States. The AAMR increased from 3.9 in 1999 to 6.4 in 2020. Significant mortality increases were observed from 1999-2001 and again from 2018-2020. Mortality rates were consistently higher among women compared to men. A significant difference in AAMR was observed across states, with highest mortality in the South region and lowest in the West region. Urbanization trends shifted from higher AAMR rates in metropolitan to non-metropolitan areas post-2018. Non-Hispanic Black individuals experienced the highest mortality rates throughout the study period.
conclusionsThis study highlights significant racial and geographic disparities in sarcoidosis-related mortality. Women, Black patients, and those residing in non-metropolitan areas are at the highest risk for Sarcoidosis associated mortality. Targeted public health interventions are required to address these prevalent disparities.
