Determinants of access to hemodialysis services in a metropolitan region of Brazil.
Article in BMC public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionThe increasing prevalence of chronic kidney disease has made it a public health issue. Research on access to hemodialysis services is fundamental for appropriate and assertive approaches to the disease. This study analyzed the factors that influence access to hemodialysis services, from the dimensions of availability, accessibility, and acceptability.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional census epidemiological study involving 1024 individuals in the Metropolitan Region of Brazil in 2019. Data were analyzed using multinomial logistic regression.
resultsFactors that increase the chance of belonging to the lowest level of access were: age group from 30 to 59 years (OR 2.16, IC
conclusionAccess to hemodialysis services in a metropolis in the southeastern region of Brazil is influenced by contextual, predisposing, enabling, and health needs characteristics. Those who are female, aged between 30 and 59 years, having an income less than or equal to 2 times minimum wage in Brazil, are at the lowest levels of access, which reinforces the role social determinants in health.
