Spatial Distribution of Gestational Syphilis in Brazil: Socioeconomic and Health Services Inequalities.
Article in The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
We aimed to analyze the spatial distribution of gestational syphilis from 2008 to 2018 in Brazil and identify correlations with socioeconomic and health-care aspects. This ecological study used municipalities of Brazil as the unit of analysis. Data collection took place between June and July 2021. Data were extracted for 2008 to 2018, and information on the epidemic in animals in the country was obtained from data records. The gestational syphilis detection rate was the dependent variable, and the independent variables were the Municipal Human Development Index, the proportion of doctors per inhabitant in primary health care (PHC), and the percentage of PHC coverage. The data went through an aggregation process in 482 immediate regions of urban articulation. The global Moran's I index and the local spatial correlation indicator detected territorial clusters using GeoDa software. The gestational syphilis detection rate was distributed unevenly in the immediate regions of urban articulation between 2008 and 2018, and presented a negative spatial correlation with the Municipal Human Development Index (Moran's I = -0.243, P ≤ 0.05), the percentage of PHC coverage (Moran's I = -0.163, P ≤ 0.05), and the proportion of doctors per inhabitants in PHC (Moran's I = -0.164, P ≤ 0.05). Socioeconomic inequalities, mainly related to the availability of human resources and access to health services, are correlated with the spatial distribution of gestational syphilis in Brazil. Investments in social policies and strengthening of PHC are essential for controlling gestational syphilis.
