Sex Disparities in Ischemic Heart Disease Death Across the United States: The Southern Burden of Excess Body Weight and Diet.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2026. 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
backgroundWhile prior studies have assessed sex disparities in ischemic heart disease (IHD) outcomes in the United States, little is known about how these differences vary across states.
methodsWe analyzed GBD (Global Burden of Disease) data from 2011 to 2021 for all 50 US states. Sex-specific IHD age-standardized mortality rates and IHD age-standardized prevalence rates were used to calculate the mortality-to-prevalence ratios per 100 000 inhabitants per year, enabling comparison of death rates relative to the population at risk. Hawaii, the state with the lowest age-standardized prevalence rate and age-standardized mortality rate in both sexes, served as the reference for
resultsIn 2011, 30 states had significantly higher mortality-to-prevalence ratios in women than men (
conclusionsDespite an overall decline, sex disparities in IHD death persist, with Arkansas and Mississippi continuing to bear the highest burden. These disparities are largely driven by overweight/obesity and dietary risk factors, warranting targeted, state-level interventions.
