A Retrospective Study of Disparities in Mortality Due to Diabetes Mellitus Over a 22-Year Period in the United States.
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
backgroundDiabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic endocrine disorder characterized by impaired insulin production or resistance to its action, resulting in elevated blood glucose levels. Urban-rural mortality rate of DM signifies the understanding of health disparities by analyzing differences in health and well-being of populations living in urban and rural areas. METHODOLOGY: A retrospective comparative study was conducted by collecting data from the CDC WONDER (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wide-ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research) database on August 24, 2022. ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision) codes E10-E14 were used, and the data were categorized into rural and urban deaths based on the 2013 urbanization classification. The variables used to study these differences were age, gender, and race.
resultsThe mortality due to DM was higher in rural areas compared to urban areas for all age groups, genders, and races. Significantly higher crude mortality rates per 100,000 population were observed in rural areas among individuals aged 75-84 years (177.17) and +85 years (347.37), compared with other age groups. In rural areas, males (33.91) had a significantly higher mortality rate than females (33.10). Mortality rates were also significantly higher in rural areas among Black or African American individuals (43.75) and American Indian or Alaska Native individuals (40.85), compared with other racial groups.
conclusionsThis study reveals the significant disparities in urban versus rural mortality among patients with DM over 22 years. A substantial increase was seen in all races of individuals in the United States. There was a significant rise in mortality trends for both rural and urban populations in the year 2020, and a huge difference was seen in the mortality rate of American Indians in both urban and rural areas.
