Spatial Distribution of Mortality for Heart Failure in Brazil, 1996 - 2017.
Article in Arquivos brasileiros de cardiologia, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
backgroundHeart failure (HF) is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, and is associated with the high use of resources and healthcare costs. In Brazil, the HF prevalence is around 2 million patients, and its incidence is of approximately 240,000 new cases per year.
objectiveThe present investigation aimed to analyze the spatiotemporal trend of mortality caused by HF in Brazil, from 1996 to 2017.
methodsThis is an ecological study developed with secondary data on HF mortality in Brazil. During the period, 1,242,014 cases of death caused by heart failure were analyzed. The existence of spatial autocorrelation of cases was calculated using the Global Moran Index (GMI) and, when significant, the Local Moran Index, considering p<0.05. The relative risk of the clusters was calculated.
resultsThe mortality rate due to HF was diversified in all Brazilian regions, with an emphasis in the South, Southeast, and Northeast. The GMI indicated positive spatial autocorrelation (p=0.01) in all periods. Municipalities located in the South, Southeast, Northeast, and Midwest showed a higher Relative Risk for mortality from HF, and most municipalities in the North were classified as a protective factor against this cause of death.
conclusionsThe study showed a decline in mortality rates across the national territory. The highest concentration of mortality rates is in the North and Northeast regions, highlighting priority vulnerable areas in the planning and controlling strategies of health services.
