Excess non-COVID-19 mortality in Uruguay prisons in 2021 vs. 2014-2023.
Article in Revista espanola de sanidad penitenciaria. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesTo examine the excess deaths due to non-COVID-19 pathologies in Uruguayan prisons in 2021 vs. 2014-2023, and analyse the factors that contributed to them. MATERIAL AND
methodA non-experimental case study with quantitative and qualitative retrospective analysis was conducted. All available data on the causes and circumstances of prisoner deaths from the year 2021 vs. 2014-2023 were analysed. Contingency and risk tables were prepared. A care process analysis tool was used in the qualitative study.
resultsIn 2021, a significant increase of deaths caused by diseases not due to COVID-19 was documented (rate person-years 296.35 vs. X̄ = 165.53 [P <0.001]). The risk was also significant for the period (OR = 2.01 [CI 1,42-2,83]) and there was also an association with prison security (P <0.05). A total of 63.4% of the deaths were associated with difficulties in the healthcare process. DISCUSSION: The excess non-COVID-19 mortality in Uruguay prisons in 2021 was mainly due to restrictions on movement in prison and priority in the care of respiratory patients, which generated difficulties in accessing prison health services, delays in diagnosis and treatment of other pathologies.
