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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesMaternal mortality due to abortion in Brazil has shown a significant decline of 47.37% between 1996 and 2022. This study aims to analyze temporal trends in maternal mortality due to abortion across regions and sociodemographic groups, highlighting disparities and their implications for public health.

methodsTrends were assessed using Prais-Winsten regression models to estimate the annual percentage change (APC). Data were stratified by region and sociodemographic characteristics to identify vulnerable groups.

resultsThe findings reveal notable regional disparities, with some regions experiencing more pronounced declines than others. Vulnerable sociodemographic groups, including women with lower levels of education and younger age groups, exhibited persistently higher mortality rates.

conclusionsDespite a significant overall reduction in maternal mortality due to abortion, disparities remain among regions and sociodemographic groups. These findings underscore the need for targeted public health policies aimed at reducing inequalities and addressing the needs of the most affected populations.
