Trends in vascular disorders of intestine mortality in the United States (1999-2024): disparities by sex, race/ethnicity, region, and urbanization.
Article in Proceedings (Baylor University. Medical Center), 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
backgroundVascular disorders of the intestine remain important contributors to gastrointestinal mortality in the United States. Despite advances in diagnostic imaging and endovascular therapy with improved outcomes, national trends in age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMR) and disparities across demographic and geographic groups have not been fully characterized.
methodsWe obtained mortality data for vascular intestinal disorders from the CDC WONDER database (1999-2024) using ICD-10 code K55. Rates were age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard and per 100,000 person-years. Analyses stratified data by sex, race/ethnicity, US region, and urbanization. Joinpoint regression identified trend periods and estimated annual percent changes (APC); the overall trend was summarized by the average annual percent change (AAPC).
resultsFrom 1999 to 2024, there were 214,372 recorded deaths from vascular disorders of the intestine. The overall AAMR declined from 3.27 (95% confidence interval: 3.20-3.34) in 1999 to 1.82 (1.78-1.86) in 2024 (AAPC: -2.33%). Among women, rates fell from 3.53 to 1.97 (AAPC: -2.35%), and among men from 2.84 to 1.63 (AAPC: -2.21%). By race/ethnicity, Black or African American individuals experienced a decrease from 3.95 to 2.35 (AAPC: -2.16%), Hispanics from 2.60 to 1.58 (AAPC: -2.49%), and Whites from 3.25 to 1.88 (AAPC: -2.17%). Regionally, the Northeast saw the steepest decline from 3.05 to 1.79 (AAPC: -2.50), followed by the West from 3.19 to 1.69 (AAPC: -2.47%), the South from 3.40 to 1.88 (AAPC: -2.34%), and the Midwest from 3.37 to 1.97 (AAPC: -2.11%). Both urban and rural areas demonstrated a pronounced decline (3.26 to 1.70, AAPC: -3.16%, and 3.39 to 2.43, AAPC: -1.58%, respectively).
conclusionsMortality due to vascular disorders of the intestine in the US has declined substantially from 1999 to 2024 across all major demographic and geographic subgroups. However, the pace of decline has varied; most notably, urban populations and the Northeast experienced the greatest reductions. Persistent disparities in mortality among ethnic groups and in various geographical settings highlight the need for targeted prevention strategies, timely diagnosis, and equitable access to advanced vascular interventions.
