Trends and racial disparities in mortality related to acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Article in Proceedings (Baylor University. Medical Center). 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
Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly among critically ill patients with limited treatment options. This study analyzed long-term trends in ARDS mortality in the US, focusing on racial disparities. By examining mortality rates across racial, regional, and gender groups, the study identified demographic and geographic inequalities to inform targeted interventions. Methods: ARDS mortality data from 1999 to 2022 was obtained from the CDC WONDER database. Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) were stratified by sex, race, and US census region. Joinpoint regression was used to calculate annual percentage changes (APCs) and average annual percent change (AAPC). Results: The overall AAMR increased from 7.40 (1999) to a peak of 21.72 (2021) before declining to 8.49 (2022, AAPC: 2.92). American Indians had the highest AAMR, increasing from 13.8 (1999) to 18.89 (2022, AAPC: 4.37). Asians had the lowest AAMR, declining from 7.4 (1999) to 6.17 (2022). AAMRs declined from 1999 to 2017, surged from 2017 to 2020, and dropped after 2022. Regional disparities were notable among the Northeast and Midwest, with Black populations having higher mortality. Conclusion: ARDS mortality trends worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic, disproportionately affecting American Indian and Black populations. Addressing these disparities requires equitable healthcare policies and further research into social determinants of health.
