1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: The consumption of processed meat causes negative impacts on health; however, this burden for the population living in developing countries is less explored. This study aimed to describe the burden of chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) attributed to a diet rich in processed meat between 1990 and 2019 in Brazil and its federative units and the financial burden on the Unified Health System (SUS) in 2019. Methods: Secondary data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) and SUS Information Systems were used in this ecological study. The metrics to assess the burden of NCDs attributable to processed meat consumption were disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and deaths. The age-standardized rates were presented per 100,000 inhabitants with 95% uncertainty intervals (95% UI). The cost of hospitalizations and outpatient procedures covered by SUS for the treatment of NCDs attributable to processed meat consumption was estimated using the population-attributable fraction. Both burdens were estimated for both sex and stratified by sex, specific cause, and federative units. Results: The age-standardized DALY rates attributable to a diet rich in processed meat increased between 1990 (75.31/100,000 [95% UI: 34.92-139.65]) and 2019 (79.35/100,000 [95% UI: 42.84-126.25]); while mortality rates remained stable between 1990 (2.64/100,000 [95% UI: 1.17-5.21) and 2019 (2.36/100,000 [95% UI: 1.22-4.09]). The cost of hospitalization and outpatient procedures in Brazil for NCDs attributable to the consumption of processed meat was approximately US$ 9,4 million, of which US$ 6,1 million was spent on ischemic heart disease, US$ 3,1 million on colorectal cancer, and US$ 200 thousand on type 2 diabetes mellitus. Conclusion: The NCD burden did not decrease during the years evaluated, while the financial burden was high in 2019, with higher treatment costs for ischemic heart disease. These results can guide political, economic, and health education interventions to advance the fight against NCDs.
