Infant Mortality in a Brazilian Municipality with a High Human Development Index.
Article in Turkish archives of pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveThe aims were to study the time course and underlying causes of deaths in children under 1 year of age in a high Human Development Index municipality. We also sought to define the relationship between the timing of death and the neonatal age range and observed the extent to which deaths were avoidable. MATERIALS AND
methodsRetrospective study of women living in the city of Niterói, Brazil, between 2012 and 2018. Data were collected from death certificates provided by hospitals. The chi-square test was used for categorical variables, while continuous variables were first analyzed descriptively (mean, standard deviation), followed by parametric or non-parametric methods.
resultsA total of 455 deaths were recorded, with a normal distribution over time (P = .120). The mean age at death was 212.70 days [30 weeks = 7.5 months], with 17 children dying before age 28 days (3.7%). The sample was predominantly male (55.6%) and white (48.4%). The average gestational age was 31.2 weeks and the average birth weight was 1733.95 g, with 305 infants weighing < 2499 g (70.1%). Bacterial sepsis ([International Classification Diseases-10 P36.9]; n = 35; 7.7%) was the most commonly cited cause of death. International Classification Diseases-10 Chapters XVI (conditions-perinatal period [P00-P96]; n = 229; 50.3%) predominated. Infants who died in the neonatal period had a lower mean gestational age (P < .001) and weight (P < .001) compared to post-neonatal deaths.
conclusionInfant mortality has remained stable at tolerable levels in this municipality. Sepsis remains the leading cause of death, and mortality is directly associated with prematurity/ low birth weight, a multifactorial problem.
