Evaluating Trends in Mortality and Years of Life Lost Due to Cardiovascular Diseases in the Southwest of Fars Province, 2013-2023: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 and Objective: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the top cause of death and disability globally. Estimating the years of life lost (YLL) can inform policy and intervention programs. The present study was designed and implemented to estimate the number of deaths and YLL, estimate their trend, and examine demographic characteristics due to cardiovascular diseases. Material and Methods: This retrospective population-based study analyzed mortality trends and YLL associated with 4314 deaths caused by CVDs. Data recorded in the Kazerun Forensic Medicine Organization were used to calculate the YLL due to cardiovascular diseases. For the descriptive analysis, we utilized the Results: Men died from CVDs at an average age of 63.4 (±16 years), while women died at an average age of 61.5 (±17 years). CVDs caused over half (52.3%) of mortality in both sexes. Mortality from heart disease was significantly higher among individuals with lower education levels and self-employed individuals throughout all years. The total number of YLLs due to CVDs was 43,107, which equals 14 years lost per 1000 individuals. While more men died from CVDs throughout most of the study, the difference between the number of male and female mortality narrowed in 2018 and from 2021 to 2023. According to the generalized additive model (GAM), years of life lost from heart disease mortality were increasing until almost 2019, but after 2019, this trend has been decreasing. Conclusion: The calculation of total YLL reveals a significant social burden of premature mortality from CVDs in the southwest of Fars province. This issue should be prioritized as a public health concern, necessitating preventive measures such as education, evaluation, and reduction of modifiable risk factors, increased physical activity, and blood pressure management to decrease mortality rates.
