Global cardiovascular disease burden attributable to particulate matter pollution, 1990-2021: an analysis of the global burden of disease study 2021 and forecast to 2045.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 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
aimsThis study aims to analyze the global trends and projected burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) attributable to particulate matter (PM) pollution. The objectives are to assess spatiotemporal trends, socio-demographic variations, and gender differences and to forecast the future burden using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 study.
methodsWe utilized data from GBD 2021 to evaluate age-standardized mortality rates (ASMR) and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of CVD attributable to PM from 1990 to 2021. Age-period-cohort models and Joinpoint regression analysis were employed to evaluate temporal trends. The Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) model, which incorporates prior information to improve prediction stability, was selected to project the future burden up to 2045 due to its robustness in handling long-term epidemiological trends.
resultsBetween 1990 and 2021, global number of deaths and DALYs for CVD attributed to PM increased by 91.68% and 78.89%, respectively. Despite these increases, ASMR and age-standardized DALYs rates declined significantly, especially among females. The burden disproportionately affected low- and middle- Socio-demographic Index (SDI) regions, with significant gender and age differences. The elderly population and regions with lower SDI will bear the greater burden. Predictions indicate that by 2045, the number of deaths and DALYs will increase by approximately three times, with females experiencing a more pronounced rise.
conclusionThe study emphasizes that despite improvements in age-standardized rates, the global burden of CVD attributable to PM has significantly increased. Due to population aging, uneven regional progress, and persistent exposure to PM, targeted intervention measures and enhanced air quality regulations are needed to reduce future health impacts. These findings provide critical insights for global health policies and strategies.
