Trends and disparities in aortic dissection mortality in the united states: a retrospective analysis.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2026. 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
backgroundAortic Dissection (AD) is a life-threatening condition and one of the major causes of death in the U.S. Despite its clinical significance, trends in AD related mortality remain understudied. We aim to analyze nationwide mortality trends in AD in the U.S.
methodsData from CDC WONDER (1999–2024) identified U.S mortality rates in adults aged ≥ 25 years with AD (ICD-10: I71.0). Crude mortality rates (CMRs) and age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) per 100,000 were calculated. Trends were analyzed using Joinpoint regression to estimate annual percent change (APC) and average annual percent change (AAPC).
resultsFrom 1999 to 2024, a total of 115,449 deaths from AD were recorded. The AAMR increased from 2.1 in 1999 to 2.4 in 2024 (AAPC of 0.46; 95% CI: 0.31 to 0.61; p < 0.001). Men had higher mortality than women (Overall AAMR: 2.62; p < 0.001 vs. 1.45; p < 0.001) (AAPC: 0.22; 95% CI: 0.05 to 0.39 vs. 0.61; 95% CI: 0.42 to 0.83) respectively. Racially, non-Hispanic (NH) Blacks demonstrated the greatest overall AAMR of 3.11. Regionally, AAMRs were highest in the Midwest (2.17) followed by the West (2.14). The urban areas had higher overall AAMRs than the rural areas (1.95, p = 0.27 vs. 1.90, p = 0.074). The majority of deaths occurred in medical facilities (88,976 deaths, 77.06%) and in older adults with CMR (5.8).
conclusionMortality trends in AD increased from 1999 to 2024. Higher trends occurred in men, urban areas, Midwest region, NH Black population and medical facilities.
