Geographical inequalities and temporal trends in pediatric cardiovascular diseases in Indonesia: a 34-year global burden of disease analysis.

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: Pediatric cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), including congenital heart anomalies (CHAs), rheumatic heart disease (RHD), and related conditions, remain a significant health challenge in Indonesia, especially given the country's diverse geography and disparities in healthcare access. We aim to analyze national and provincial trends in the burden of pediatric CVDs in Indonesia from 1990 to 2023 using Global Burden of Disease (GBD) data. Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational analysis using the GBD 2023 dataset, focusing on the prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of pediatric cardiovascular diseases across age groups. Trends were assessed by sex and province. The Estimated Annual Percentage Change (EAPC) was calculated for each CVD subcategory and age group by fitting a log-linear regression model to the natural logarithm of annual rates. To evaluate nonlinear temporal patterns, generalized additive models (GAMs) were applied with penalized smoothing splines for year. Poisson or negative binomial regression models were used to model mortality counts, with the latter selected when overdispersion exceeded 1.5. Results: From 1990 to 2023, Indonesia showed an overall decline in DALY rates for CHAs, decreasing from 120,809.85 to 68,324.17 per 100,000, and for non-congenital CVDs, from 42,118.56 to 29,842.73 per 100,000. The most notable improvements occurred among infants and toddlers, whereas adolescents showed stagnant or rising burdens, particularly for ischemic heart disease (IHD), hypertensive heart disease (HHD), and aortic aneurysm. CHAs remained the leading contributor, with neonatal prevalence and mortality in 2023 reaching 1511.53 and 1341.68 per 100,000, respectively. Despite the overall national decline, positive EAPC values ( Conclusion: CHAs remain the leading cause of pediatric CVD in Indonesia, especially among neonates, while adolescents face rising adult-type cardiovascular conditions. National improvements are uneven, with eastern provinces experiencing higher burdens due to limited access to care. These inequalities highlight the need for targeted prevention, early detection, and strengthened long-term management to ensure equitable and sustainable child cardiovascular health.
