Mortality from malignant neoplasms at home and in hospitals in Brazil, 2002-2022: sociodemographic characteristics and temporal trends.
Article in Revista brasileira de epidemiologia = Brazilian journal of epidemiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 sociodemographic characteristics and temporal trends of deaths due to malignant neoplasms in Brazil, according to whether they occurred at home or in a hospital, from 2002 to 2022.
methodsThis is a descriptive and ecological study analyzing data on cancer deaths from the Brazilian Mortality Information System. The analysis included descriptive measures, mortality rates, and trends based on joinpoint regression of sociodemographic variables, according to the place of death, as well as associations with the occurrence at home or in hospitals.
resultsWe analyzed a total of 3,696,553 cancer deaths in Brazil, of which 82.5% occurred in hospitals. The variables positively associated with deaths at home were: men, age between 70 and 79 years and 80 years or older, mixed-race and Indigenous ethnicity, no formal education and one to three years of formal education, and widowed or other marital status. The Northeast and South regions had the highest rates of home mortality, while the Southeast and South regions led in hospital mortality. There was an increasing trend for both deaths occurring at home and those in hospitals nationwide. In the evaluation of home deaths, an increasing trend was observed in nine states and in the Federal District. Regarding hospital deaths, all Brazilian states showed an increasing trend.
conclusionThe factors that influence the place of death for cancer patients are complex and include support network, access, culture, and the use of healthcare services. Targeted actions for more vulnerable populations and locations are necessary to reverse the growing trend of this condition.
