Assessing disparity in mortality rates for ischemic heart disease using CDC-WONDER database: A retrospective analysis.
Article in Global cardiology science & practice, 2025. 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
introductionIschemic heart disease remains a leading global cause of death, impacting healthcare systems worldwide. In 2019, 32% of global deaths were estimated to be due to cardiovascular events, accounting for approximately 17.9 million people worldwide. Despite technological advances improving diagnosis and treatment, disparities persist, especially between urban and rural areas.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective study using the CDC WONDER database extracted on 17th March 2024, ICD-10 code: I20-I25 (Ischemic Heart Disease). We selected the years 1999-2020: Underlying Cause of Death by Bridged-Race Categories divided based on rural and urban deaths, based on 2013 urbanization classification, and grouped by age (10-year age range), gender, and race.
resultsOur research indicates a consistent decline in ischemic heart disease mortality across urban and rural regions within all demographic groups from 1999 to 2020. However, a notable exception occurred in 2019 when mortality rates increased in both urban and rural settings. Notably, throughout the entire period under study, rural areas consistently exhibited higher mortality rates compared to their urban counterparts.
conclusionThis study sheds light on the big disparity in mortality rates due to ischemic heart disease in urban versus rural areas in all groups of age, gender, and race. We hope our findings prompt further research to determine the causes of this discrepancy and public health interventions to address it.
