Sex, Race, and Geographic Disparities in Mortality of Cardiovascular Diseases due to Thyroid Dysfunction: A 21-Year Longitudinal Analysis Using CDC WONDER Database (1999-2020).
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 are many prognostic factors causing morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular diseases with ischemic heart disease, stroke, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and Rheumatic heart disease being major contributors. Thyroid dysfunction also plays an important role in deaths caused by CVDs. The study evaluates the role of hypo and hyperthyroidism which are one of the important causes of CVDs.
methodsDeath certificates were sourced out from the database of Centers of Disease and Control (CDC) WONDER from 1999 to 2020 in United States. Various factors like sex, race, urbanization and geographical location according to state were used to calculate age adjusted mortality rates (AAMR) at a significance level of less than 0.05. Age-adjusted and crude mortality rates per 1,000,000 population were estimated. The Annual Percentage Changes (APC) were determined by using the Joinpoint Regression Program.
resultsOverall, 423,620 deaths were reported between 1999-2020, with AAMRs first increasing from 86.3 in 1999 to 92.9 in 2003, followed by a decline to 87.8 in 2004 and a gradual decrease through 2018 (APC -0.37; p < 0.05), after which a sharp rise occurred until 2020 (APC 14.25; p < 0.05). The males and females show similar mortality trends except for more deaths reported among females (106.2) than in males (59.5). In racial category, NH Whites were reported with highest AAMR (93.7), followed by American Indian or Alaskan Native (89.7), Black or African American (66.8), Hispanics (62.9), while lowest being in Asian or Pacific Islanders (40.2). Throughout the study period, non-metropolitan areas had the highest AAMR values (107.7) than medium/small metropolitan areas (96.1) with large metropolitan areas (77.1) having lowest throughout. Six states have shown the AAMR in the 90th percentile with West Virginia being highest whereas the state of Nevada has the lowest AAMR value.
conclusionThe findings in this study show significant sex and racial disparities providing an insight of the importance regarding mortality due to thyroid dysfunction in cardiovascular diseases. Addressing risk factors and precipitating events requires targeted health policy actions in order to improve outcomes for impacted populations.
