Factors associated with covid-19 deaths in the city of Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, 2020: a cross-sectional study with "Notifique Aqui" system data.

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 analyze the clinical conditions and sociodemographic characteristics associated with covid-19 deaths in the first year of the pandemic in the city of Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, 2020.
methodsthis was a cross-sectional study with covid-19-induced severe acute respiratory syndrome cases recorded in 2020 via the "Notifique Aqui" (Report Here) electronic system of the Pernambuco Center for Strategic Information on Health Surveillance. Association between death and sociodemographic and clinical variables was analyzed. Prevalence ratios (PR) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were calculated using adjusted Poisson regression.
resultsthe prevalence of death was 28.4% (2,833 cases; 95%CI 27.51;29.28). The associated factors were male sex (PR = 1.05; 95%CI 1.01;1.08), age ≥ 60 years (PR = 0.76; 95%CI 0.72;0.79), dyspnea (PR = 1.06; 95%CI 1.02;1.10), respiratory distress (PR = 1.06; 95%CI 1.03;1.09), oxygen saturation < 95% (PR = 1.08; 95%CI 1.04;1.11) and chronic diseases.
conclusioncovid-19 deaths were more prevalent among male, older adults, and people with pre-existing health problems, these being priority groups for combating the pandemic.
