Rural-Urban Disparities in Mortality Related to Alcohol-Associated Liver Disease by Race/Ethnicity in the United States From 1999 to 2022.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionMortality related to alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) has been increasing over the past two decades, especially in racial and ethnic minorities and those living in rural areas. The interaction between rurality, race and ethnicity in mortality disparities is unclear.
methodsThis cross-sectional study extracted data from the Underlying Cause of Death database of CDC Wide-Ranging Online Database for Epidemiological Research (1999-2022). We estimated the age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) for ALD among adults 25 years and older. We calculated the average annual percentage change (AAPC) using the Joinpoint regression program.
resultsThere were 436,814 deaths related to ALD among US adults with rising mortality from 1999 (AAMR, 6.7) to 2022 (AAMR, 12.5) (AAPC, 2.7%). American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) individuals had the highest mortality in 2022 (AAMR, 76.8), followed by Hispanic individuals (AAMR, 14.1). Mortality increases in non-Hispanic White (NHW) individuals (AAPC, 4.0%) surpassed that of non-Hispanic Black (NHB) individuals (AAPC, 0.4%). The increase in AAMR was more pronounced in rural areas (AAPC, 4.1%) than large metropolitan areas (AAPC, 2.0%). For NHW, AI/AN, and Hispanic individuals, AAMRs in rural areas had greater increases than in large metropolitan areas. AAMRs remained largely stable in large metropolitan (AAPC, - 0.6%) and rural areas for NHB individuals (AAPC, 0.1%). DISCUSSION: There were significant and widening rural-urban disparities in ALD-related mortality among NHW, AI/AN, and Hispanic individuals. Mortality in NHB individuals remained largely stable. Targeted resources and efforts are essential to address the growing mortality burden in select populations.
