Association of Ramadan and Death Rates in a Metropolitan City in Turkey: A Review of Literature and a Seasonally Adjusted Study.
Review in Journal of religion and health, 2025. 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
In this study, death rates for a metropolitan city were analyzed over a period of 33 years to investigate any potential relationship between the month of Ramadan and death rates. The study also aimed to obtain seasonally adjusted results using time series analysis. Ultimately, the total evaluation of the 33-year period revealed no significant variation in death rates between Ramadan and non-Ramadan periods. Separate analyses for each season with time series also yielded no significant findings for most parameters, with the exception that the number of female deaths during Ramadan in winter was significantly higher than expected. According to these results, the increase in the number of deaths observed among women during the winter Ramadan period requires further investigation to determine whether a causal relationship exists. The use of seasonally adjusted approaches and time series analyses in future Ramadan and health studies is crucial for the accuracy of the results.
