Spatial and socioeconomic patterns of COVID-19 in transition zones between municipalities in eastern Amazonia.

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
Background: Herein, we assess hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19 in Amazonian municipalities, taking into account regional, demographic, and socioeconomic peculiarities. Public data from 2020 and 2021 of 52,082 cases of COVID-19 were analyzed in R Program. Methods: We examined the interaction of mortality, hospitalization, and fatality rates of COVID-19, considering socioeconomic, demographic, and geographic variables. We measured the spatial autocorrelation of the rates associated with the variables POP, GDP, Residents, HDI, and GINI. The spatial patterns found show distinctly affected sectors and COVID-19 transition zones between municipalities. Results: We detected higher mortality rates in territories with greater social and environmental vulnerability. Analysis of the mortality rate indicates that all the socioeconomic variables tested are associated with this variable, but their effects interact in a complex way. The municipalities with higher numbers of residents per household and Gini coefficients had higher fatality rates, and municipalities with a higher GDP were more associated with higher hospitalization and mortality rates. Furthermore, the five socioeconomic indices included in multiple regressions analyzing mortality and hospitalization rates exhibited significant interaction effects. However, no significant interaction effects were observed in the fatality rate analyses. Conclusion: Spatial analyses showed that none of the 144 municipalities studied had high overlapping rates of mortality, hospitalization, and fatality rates for COVID-19 in the same municipality. We recommend further studies in the transition zones, considering the municipalities of
