Mortality Trends Related to Diabetes Mellitus and Heart Failure: A Retrospective Study.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
introductionDiabetes mellitus (DM) is a major cause of mortality, and its association with heart failure (HF) remains underexplored. Understanding this relationship is essential to identifying high-risk populations and developing targeted public health interventions.
aimsThis study aims to analyze mortality trends and demographic disparities in DM with HF as a contributing cause.
methodsA retrospective observational study was conducted using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Multiple Causes of Death (MCD) database to assess mortality trends in individuals aged 25 years and older in the United States from 1999 to 2020. The study included deaths where DM (International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision (ICD-10): E10-14) was listed as the underlying cause and HF (ICD-10: I50) as a contributing cause. Data were analyzed by age, gender, race, geographic region, and place of death. Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMR) and annual percent change (APC) were calculated.
resultsA total of 273611 deaths were recorded. The AAMR for DM with HF showed a small increase from 1999 to 2005 (APC: +0.31), followed by a sharp, significant decline from 2005 to 2010 (APC: -5.24), and started to rise steadily from 2010 to 2020 (APC: +1.88). The highest mortality was observed in females (n = 139882, 51.10%), White individuals (n = 225333, 82.40%), and in metropolitan areas (n = 209482, 76.50%). Temporal trends showed an increasing AAMR in males (+2.66 APC post-2010) and increasing AAMR amongst Asian or Pacific Islander individuals (+1.66 APC post-2010), who had the lowest overall mortality rates, indicating evolving disparities.
conclusionOverall, DM and HF-related mortality trends have shifted with disparities in gender, race, and location. Targeted interventions addressing comorbid management, preventive strategies, and social determinants of health are critical to mitigating excess mortality in high-risk populations concerning uptrends.
