Spatio-temporal evolution of stroke mortality in Minas Gerais, Brazil, 1980-2021.

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 spatio-temporal evolution of stroke mortality in Minas Gerais state, Brazil, 1980-2021.
methodsEcological study with aggregated data by micro-region. Segmented linear regression was used for trend analysis; maps with rates per five-year period and scan statistics were used for spatial analysis.
resultsThere were 392,521 stroke-related deaths (rate of 52.6/100,000-year). All rates (crude, adjusted, by age group) showed a decreasing trend, less so in the crude rate (Annual Percent Change [APC] = -0.70) and a faster decrease in the 20-39 age group (APC = -4.48). A high-rate cluster was identified in the southern region (1980-1999; Relative Risk [RR] = 2.06), and a low-rate cluster in the northwest (2008-2021; RR = 0.59). The most significant decrease occurred in the south (APC = -3.64).
conclusionStroke mortality showed a decreasing trend. Clusters and areas with higher rates identified in the northeast in recent years require attention by service managers. MAIN
resultsDecreasing trend in stroke mortality, a cluster was found in the south with high rates (1980-1999; relative risk [RR] = 2.06) and another in the northwest with low rates (2008-2021; RR = 0.59). IMPLICATIONS FOR SERVICES: For health service managers, greater attention is suggested in the micro-regions and respective municipalities in the northeast that have presented a higher risk of mortality from stroke in recent years, with the aim of improving the regulation of health care service and network regulation, as well as optimizing access to these services. PERSPECTIVES: It is necessary to monitor the spatio-temporal evolution of stroke mortality and conduct new studies on different scales (for example, on the municipal scale) and methodologies (for example, multilevel analysis), to estimate risk factors and the social context of vulnerable populations.
