Epidemiological analysis of congenital glaucoma: a national scenario.

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
introductionCongenital glaucoma is a disease that involves increased intraocular pressure and can result in irreversible visual deterioration. The study of epidemiology allows the delineation of the characteristics associated with patients and specific risk factors.
objectiveThe objective of this study was to examine epidemiological trends, place of residence, duration of gestation, sex, and race of the newborn diagnosed with congenital glaucoma in Brazil.
methodsData from SINASC (National Live Birth System) were used to analyze the period from 2017 to 2021 in Brazil. Linear regression and analysis of variance tests were employed to assess significance. The statistical significance was determined by p<0.05.
resultsA total of 47 cases of congenital glaucoma were identified in Brazil during the study period, with the highest incidence between the years of 2018 and 2021. The analysis of the distribution indicated that the states with the highest incidence were São Paulo, followed by Rio Grande do Sul and Pernambuco. Approximately 60% of cases occurred in male individuals, compared with 19 female cases. The ethnic analysis showed the highest incidence among whites and mixed. Regarding the length of pregnancy, statistical differences were observed between newborns of different periods of gestation. Infants born from pregnancies lasting between 28 and 31 weeks and 32 and 36 weeks were significant when analyzed with the group between 37 and 41 weeks.
conclusionStudies on the mechanisms of congenital glaucoma seek to improve knowledge about the disease. Epidemiological evaluation is essential for identifying demographic and clinical patterns of the disease.
