Obstructive sleep apnea and mortality among older US adults with diabetes mellitus (1999-2019): a CDC WONDER longitudinal study.
Review in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2026. 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: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a commonly undiagnosed disorder with increasing prevalence and a heavy public health and economic burden. OSA shares many common risk factors with diabetes mellitus (DM). However, no prior study has yet assessed the trends in mortality rates of these two diseases in the US. Methods: Mortality data were extracted from the CDC WONDER database between 1999 to 2019 for adults aged 65 and above with OSA and DM. Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMR) per 100 000 and annual percentage change (APC) with 95% confidence interval were calculated and stratified according to year, sex, ethnicity, urbanization, and census regions using join point regression. Results: Over the study period, 41 111 deaths were reported among individuals with OSA and DM. Overall, AAMR increased steadily [average annual percentage change (AAPC) = 12]. Males had a higher increase (AAPC = 11.87) and overall higher AAMR (6.9) than females. The White population exhibited the highest AAMR (9.5) (AAPC = 12.07) by 2019. Both metropolitan (4.53) and nonmetropolitan areas (5.61) showed similar overall surges in AAMR. The Midwest region (AAPC = 12.16) reported the highest AAMR (6.1). Conclusions: Mortality rates concerning OSA and DM have increased substantially, particularly in males, Whites, and in the Midwest, highlighting the need for guiding awareness efforts and targeted interventions to reduce mortality.
