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 bed demand and occupancy within the Brazilian National Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS) for the main types of cancer in Brazil, from 2018 to 2021.
methodsThis was a descriptive cross-sectional study, using data from the Hospital Information System. Queuing theory model was used for calculating average admission rate, average hospitalization rate, probability of overload, and average number of people in the queue.
resultsThe Southeast and South regions showed the highest average hospitalization rates, while the North region showed the lowest rates. The Southeast region presented a high probability of surgical bed overload, especially in the states of São Paulo (99.0%), Minas Gerais (97.0%) and Rio de Janeiro (97.0%). São Paulo state showed an overload above 95.0% in all types of beds analyzed.
conclusionThere was a high probability of oncology bed occupancy within the Brazilian National Health System, especially surgical and medical beds, and regional disparities in bed overload. MAIN
resultsThe study found a high demand for hospital admissions to oncological bed in the Southeast region and a high probability of system overload in the states of the Southeast and Northeast regions of Brazil, thus highlighting the inequities in access to healthcare services in the country. IMPLICATIONS FOR SERVICES: This study presents a methodology for the improved allocation of resources and management of surgical and medical bed flows in areas with the highest bed overload and regions with low service availability. PERSPECTIVES: It is necessary to promote public policies that ensure the equitable supply of beds for oncological treatment within the SUS, especially in states with bed overload and healthcare service gaps.
