Trends in Dementia Associated Mortality among Patients with Underlying Stroke: A Nationwide Retrospective Analysis (1999-2023).
Article in Journal of epidemiology and global health, 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
introductionDementia contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality associated with stroke, which has been a leading cause of death and disability in the U.S. We aim to determine the stroke mortality trends in the older population with dementia in the U.S from 1999 to 2023.
methodsCenters for Disease Control and Prevention's Wide-ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research (CDC WONDER) database was utilized to analyze the death records of older patients (aged ≥ 65 years) listing stroke as the underlying cause and dementia as the contributing cause of death. Age-adjusted mortality rates were computed per 100,000 population, and their variations over time were estimated as annual percent changes (APC).
resultsA total of 259,607 deaths occurred from stroke in older patients with dementia, with a 59% decrease in AAMR from 1999 (28.09) to 2023 (16.51). A stark rise in rates occurred from 1999 to 2001 (APC: 21.25; P < 0.05), followed by continuous declines until 2023. AAMRs were higher in females (26.3) than in males (21.9) and peaked in NH African Americans (29.5) and older adults aged 85 + years (114.73). Further rates peaked among non-metropolitan residents, the west (26.9), and the south regions (26.8).
conclusionDespite the decline in the dementia related mortality among older people with underlying stroke, the burden is still considerable and disproportionately affects females, NH African Americans, and non-metropolitan areas, therefore necessitating stroke-informed dementia care, better risk stratification, and even distribution of resources.
