Trends in complications of cardiac and vascular prosthetic devices, implants, and grafts mortality rate in the United States (1999-2020).
Review in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
To analyze mortality rates due to complications of cardiac and vascular prosthetic devices, implants, and grafts in the United States, International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, codes were used on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wide-Ranging OnLine Data for Epidemiologic Research (CDC WONDER) database to retrieve death certificate data between the years 1999 and 2020 for patients aged 55 and above. Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs), per 100 000 people, and annual percentage change along with their respective 95% confidence intervals were also calculated. Complications of cardiac and vascular prosthetic devices, implants, and grafts were responsible for 91 539 deaths among adults aged 55 years and older. The overall AAMR decreased from 9.2 in 1999 to 3.4 in 2020. AAMRs for men were higher than for women (overall AAMR men: 7.5; women: 4.5). Stratifying patients according to race the order of AAMRs from highest to lowest was as follows: non-Hispanic Black or African American (6.8), NH White: (5.9), NH American Indian or Alaska Native (5.7), Hispanic or Latino (4.0) and lastly NH Asian or Pacific Islander (3.2). State wise the top 90th percentile states with regard to mortality included West Virginia, South Carolina, Mississippi, North Dakota, and Alabama. In census regions the South had the highest AAMR (6.2) followed by the Midwest (6.0), the Northeast (5.4), and the West (5.1) with nonmetropolitan areas having higher AAMRs (7.0) than metropolitan areas (5.4). Further research and a more individualized pattern of treatment of older patients are necessary moving forward.
