Climate Vulnerability and Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Disease in the United States.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThere is an incomplete understanding of the impact of climate change on cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome. Although climate change affects all Americans, certain communities and individuals may suffer a disproportionate burden. Therefore, this study's objective was to explore the relationship between the Climate Vulnerability Index domains and the prevalence of CKM components in the United States.
methodsThis cross-sectional study obtained health outcomes from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Population Level Analysis and Community Estimates (2021) and assessed the census tract-level prevalence of coronary heart disease, chronic kidney disease, obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. ANOVA was used to assess statistically significant differences in the means of CKM components between quartiles of each climate change domain. Linear regression models assessed the association between each domain and outcome, followed by models adjusted by baseline Climate Vulnerability Index components. Fully adjusted models included all 3 climate change domains and the baseline Climate Vulnerability Index components.
resultsData for 70 300 census tracts, covering 299.8 million individuals, were included. Statistically significant differences (
conclusionsThe Climate Vulnerability Index's climate change component was associated with the prevalence of CKM components (coronary heart disease, chronic kidney disease, obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension). These findings suggest that populations with CKM may be associated with increased climate vulnerability, underscoring the need for a deeper understanding of climate change as a determinant of health.
