1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesTo compare rates, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and years of healthy life lost due to disability (YLDs) associated with deaths due to self-harm in Brazil.

methodsThis epidemiological study utilized secondary data obtained from the Global Burden of Disease Study. Analytical examinations were conducted to provide detailed descriptions of national and subnational rates.

resultsWe identified mortality rates, DALYs, and YLDs resulting from deaths due to self-harm - national data from 26 states and the Federal District - between 1990 and 2019. The national rates in 1990 and 2019 were the same for mortality = 6.2 deaths per 100.000 inhabitants, reduced for DALYs = 312-289 DALYs, and the same for YLDs = 1.6 YLDs. Four united federations had higher mortality rates, DALYs, and YLDs caused by self-harm compared to national rates throughout the analyzed period (between 1990 and 2019) - Goiás (mortality = 11-67%, DALYs = 13-73%, and YLDs = 4-45%), Mato Grosso do Sul (mortality = 23-42%, DALYs = 28-46%, and YLDs = 13-64%), Minas Gerais (mortality = 5-25%, DALYs = 7-25%, and YLDs = 19-35%), and Rio Grande do Sul (mortality = 73-98%, DALYs = 55-84 %, and YLDs = 52-70%).

conclusionAlthough national mortality rates and YLD caused by self-harm have been maintained, there has been a decrease in the incidence of DALYs. However, certain states in Brazil have rates higher than the national average, indicating the need for multiple strategies to be implemented to reduce mortality rates, DALYs, and YLDs resulting from self-harm in these specific states.
