Changes in childhood stroke mortality from 1990 to 2019 in Brazil and its federative units.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. 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
This research analyzed the temporal trend of stroke mortality in children aged 0-14 years, from 1990 to 2019, in Brazil and its federative units. This ecological study used data from the Global Burden of Disease, a study led by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. Stroke definition considered the International Classification of Diseases according to codes G45, G46, and I60-I69. Age-standardized mortality rates and the mean annual percentage change (APC) in mortality rates were estimated. Stroke mortality trends decreased, with an APC of - 3.9% (95% CI - 4.5; - 3.3; p < 0.001). Reducing trends were found in all but two states, where they were stationary. Maranhão (- 6.5%; 95% CI - 7.6; - 5.4; p < 0.001) had the greatest reduction and Rondônia, the smallest (- 1.2%; 95% CI - 2.3; - 0.1, p = 0.027). Decrease was more important in children < 5 (- 5.8%; 95% CI - 6.3; - 5.2; p < 0.001) compared to 5-14 years old (- 2.1%; 95% CI - 2.9; - 1.3; p < 0.001); additionally, it was greater in girls (- 4.1%; 95% CI - 4.6; - 3.5; p < 0.001) than in boys (- 3.8%; 95% IC - 4.5; - 3.1; p < 0.001). Ischemic stroke had the highest APC (- 6.1%; 95% CI - 6.8; - 5.3; p < 0.001), followed by intracranial hemorrhage (- 5.3%; 95% CI - 6.1; - 4.5; p < 0.001) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (- 2.7%; 95% CI - 3.3; - 2.1; p < 0.001). Largest reductions were seen in states with more vulnerable socioeconomic contexts. The stationary trends and lowest APCs were concentrated in the northern region, which had greater impact of diseases and less favorable outcomes.
