Hypertension-Related Mortality in Aortic Dissection and Aneurysm: A Retrospective Observational Study.
Article in Cureus, 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
introductionHypertension is a major cause of cardiovascular event-related mortality, and its association with aortic aneurysm and dissection is being extensively studied.
aimTo assess mortality trends and demographic disparities in hypertensive diseases with aortic dissection and aneurysm as a contributing cause. METHODOLOGY: A retrospective observational study was conducted using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Wide-ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research (WONDER) Multiple Cause of Death (MCD) database to assess mortality trends among individuals aged over 25 years in the United States from 1999 to 2020. Hypertension (ICD-10: I10-I15) was considered the underlying cause of death, with aortic dissection and aneurysm (ICD-10: I71.0) recorded as contributing causes. Data were stratified by gender, race, geographic region, and place of death. Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMR) and annual percentage change (APC) were calculated.
resultsA total of 20,782 deaths were recorded, with a crude rate of 4.6 per million. The AAMR initially declined (-2.12% APC from 1999 to 2006) but increased significantly from 2006 to 2009 (+56.82% APC). It then decreased slightly from 2009 to 2020 (-0.42% APC). The highest mortality was observed in males (10,902, 52.5%), White individuals (16,551, 79.6%), metropolitan regions (17,426, 83.9%), and medical facilities (13,328, 64.13%). Temporal trends showed an increasing AAMR in both males (+57.22% APC from 2006 to 2009) and females (+56.32% APC from 2006 to 2009). A similar trend was observed during those years in African American individuals (APC +52.45%) and White individuals (APC +57.22%), indicating evolving disparities.
conclusionsMortality trends in hypertension with aortic dissection and aneurysm have shifted, with rising disparities in gender, race, geographic areas, and place of death. These findings underscore the need for targeted prevention strategies and improved healthcare access.
