Mortality Profile of Deaths Related to Infective Endocarditis in Brazil and Regions: A Population-Based Analysis of Death Records.
Article in Tropical medicine and infectious disease, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundStudies of infective endocarditis (IE) are generally limited to institutions, underlining the need for more comprehensive epidemiological research.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to determine the mortality profile of IE-related deaths and related causes in Brazil at the national level and across regions.
methodWe conducted a population-based study using data from the country's mortality information system for the period 2000 to 2019. We identified IE-related deaths and related causes based on the ICD-10 codes. Cluster analysis was performed to determine the relationship between the variables.
resultsThere were 52,055 IE-related deaths during the study period. Deaths occurred predominantly among men and people aged between 60 and 79 years. The Southeast accounted for the largest proportion of deaths. The most frequent ICD-10 chapter mentioned in relation to IE-related deaths was diseases of the circulatory system. We identified three distinctive profiles: 1-an age of 80 years and over and women, where the most frequent chapters were endocrine, circulatory and metabolic diseases and the South and Southeast accounted for the largest proportion of deaths; 2-an age between 30 and 79 years and men, where the most frequent chapters were infectious and genitourinary diseases and the South and Southeast accounted for the largest proportion of deaths; and 3-an age between 0 and 29 years without any difference between sexes, where the most frequent chapter was diseases of the respiratory system and the North, Northeast and Midwest accounted for the largest proportion of deaths.
conclusionsThe findings of the cluster analysis revealed distinctive IE-related mortality profiles, indicating regional differences.
