Temporal Trends in Mortality from Alzheimer's Disease in Federal District, Brazil: An Ecological Study (2010-2018).
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2023. 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
introductionNeuropsychiatric diseases, particularly dementias, has become more prominent with a great impact on the quality of life of the elderly population.
objectiveTo verify the rate of increase in mortality due to Alzheimer's disease in the Federal District, Brazil from 2010 to 2018.
methodAn ecological study was conducted, with a time series, about the evolution of the mortality coefficient in the Federal District, Brazil carried out at the Federal District State Department of Health. Mortality rates were defined as the dependent variable and years evaluated as the independent variable-from 2010 to 2018. For temporal trend analysis, the Prais-Winsten linear regression model was used and the increment rate with the respective 95% confidence interval was estimated.
resultsFrom 2010 to 2018, 1665 deaths which had Alzheimer's disease as the underlying cause were recorded in the Mortality Information System. The results showed an overall mortality rate of 6.55 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants, with a higher predominance in females, non-Black people, and those aged 80 years or older. There was an increase in the annual trend of the overall mortality coefficient in both sexes.
conclusionThe findings demonstrated a significant increase in the temporal evolution of mortality due to Alzheimer's disease in the Federal District, Brazil. It was recommended to conduct original studies to evaluate the factors that can cause the disease in order to collaborate in the process of formulating policies in the area of public health and improvements in clinical practice.
