Procedures for health data linkage: applications in health surveillance.
Review in Epidemiologia e servicos de saude : revista do Sistema Unico de Saude do Brasil, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveTo present a standardized methodology for linking different public health databases.
methodsThis was a methodological review article specifically describing data processing procedures for deterministic linkage between structured databases. It instructs on how to: treat data, select linkage keys, and link databases using two databases simulated in R software.
resultsThe commands used for the deterministic linkage of the inner_join type were presented. The linkage process resulted in a database with 40,108 pairs using only the "Name" key. Adding the second key, "Name of mother", the resulted dropped to 112 pairs. By adding the third key, "Date of birth", only two pairs were identified.
conclusionDatabase linkage and its analysis are valid and valuable tools for health services in supporting health surveillance actions.
