Trends and Demographic Disparities Among Adults With Sudden Cardiac Death and Diabetes Mellitus in the United States: A Nationwide Analysis.
Article in Journal of arrhythmia, 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: Sudden cardiac death (SCD) represents a major cause of cardiovascular mortality, with diabetes mellitus (DM) significantly increasing susceptibility. However, long-term national trends and demographic disparities in SCD among decedents with co-documented SCD and DM remain insufficiently characterized. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis using the CDC WONDER database from 1999 to 2020. Adults with SCD and DM listed on death certificates were included. Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) per 100 000 population were calculated and stratified by sex, age group, race/ethnicity, census region, state, and urbanization status. Temporal trends were assessed using annual percent changes (APCs), with Results: A total of 51 756 deaths among decedents with co-documented SCD and DM were identified. Overall AAMR increased from 1.29 in 1999 to 1.46 in 2020 (APC +0.46%, Conclusion: The population-level burden of co-documented SCD and DM in the United States has increased modestly over the past two decades, with significant demographic and geographic disparities. Targeted public health interventions and equitable cardiovascular risk management are urgently needed to reduce these disparities.
