Time series of hospitalizations for primary care-sensitive conditions in children in the state of Roraima, Brazil, 2010 to 2023.

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 the trend of hospitalizations for primary care-sensitive conditions in children in the state of Roraima, Brazil.
methodsEcological time series study with secondary data collected from the Hospital Information System, on hospitalizations for primary care-sensitive conditions in children between 2010 and 2023.
resultsThe highest hospitalization rates were in 2021 (265.9/10,000 inhabitants/year) and the under 1 age group had the highest rates. There was a reduction in ambulatory care-sensitive conditions in group 1, in the first and second segments (MPC=-1.50; 95%CI -3.79-0.32 p=0.016 and MPC=-1.91; 95%CI -3.44--0.81 and p=0.007), group 2, with a constant drop throughout the series of 0.57% per month (95%CI -0.70--0.43 and p<0.001) and in group 16 (MPC=-0.38; 95%CI -0.55--0.21 and p<0.001). Bacterial pneumonia was the main cause of hospitalization in all age groups. Group 4 showed a uniform increase in rates of 1.56% per month (95%CI 0.27-2.80 and p=0.018). There was a drop in rates in the first segment at all ages: <1 year: -2.90% and p=0.019; 1 to 4 years: -1.75% (p=0.011) and 5 to 9 years: -0.79% (p=0.053), followed by an increase and then a drop again. In the last segment, all the age groups showed an increase in rates.
conclusionsThe scenario in Roraima is worrisome and requires urgent interventions, as there is evidence of weaknesses in primary health care, probably aggravated by the migratory crisis. The strategies sought are still insufficient.
