Trends in depression related cardiovascular mortality among adults from 1999 to 2020: a retrospective study in the United States.

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
Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and depression frequently coexist, leading to worse outcomes and higher mortality than CVD alone. Despite this impact, long-term trends in cardiovascular mortality among adults with depression remain underexplored. Methods: We used the CDC WONDER database to obtain death certificate data from 1999 to 2020 for adults aged ≥25 years. Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) and crude mortality rates (CMRs) per 100,000 population were extracted. Annual percent change (APC) and average APC (AAPC) were estimated using Joinpoint regression and compared to the general population using pairwise comparison. Results: A total of 79,813 CVD deaths occurred in adults with depression. Mortality trends were stable until 2002 (APC: 0.14), declined significantly through 2010 (APC: -6.87), remained relatively stable from 2010 to 2018 (APC: -0.80), then rose significantly until 2020 (APC: 8.52). AAPCs differed significantly from the general population. AAMRs were consistently higher in females than males and highest among NH Whites, followed by NH Black or African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, and NH Asian or Pacific Islanders. Regional variation in AAMRs was noted (Midwest: 2.2; West: 1.7; Northeast: 1.5; South: 1.4), with AAPCs differing from the general population in the Midwest and Northeast. AAMRs were higher in non-metropolitan (2.2) than metropolitan areas (1.6). APCs for CMRs in all analysed age groups (45-54 to 85+) differed significantly from the general population. Conclusion: CVD mortality rates among adults with depression have risen since 2018, with disparities by sex, race, and geography. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to reduce mortality in this high-risk population.
