Trends and disparities in disseminated intravascular coagulation-related mortality among adults aged 25 and above in the U.S., 1999-2020: CDC WONDER insights.
Article in Thrombosis journal, 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
backgroundDisseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a severe, life-threatening coagulopathy often secondary to infection, malignancy, or obstetric complications. Despite advances in critical care, national patterns and disparities in DIC-related mortality remain underexplored.
objectivesTo examine temporal, demographic, and regional trends in DIC-related mortality among U.S. adults from 1999 to 2020.
methodsDeath certificate data were obtained from the CDC WONDER (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wide-Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research) database for adults aged ≥ 25 years with DIC listed as an underlying or contributing cause of death. Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) per 100,000 population and annual percent change (APC) were calculated using Joinpoint regression and stratified by sex, race/ethnicity, age group, urbanization, and region.
resultsFrom 1999 to 2020, 71,241 DIC-related deaths were identified among U.S. adults. The overall AAMR declined from 2.1 per 100,000 in 1999 to 1.6 in 2020. Men had higher mortality than women (1.6 vs. 1.5), and non-Hispanic (NH) Black adults had the highest AAMR (2.8), followed by Hispanic (1.6), and NH White adults (1.4). Mortality was highest among adults ≥ 85 years (6.1), residents of nonmetropolitan areas (1.6), and those in the South (1.6) and Northeast regions (1.5).
conclusionsFollowing a prolonged decline, DIC-related mortality in U.S. adults has risen since 2017, particularly among men, Black adults, and those in the South and rural areas. Targeted prevention and equitable access to critical care are essential to curb this resurgence.
