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
In Brazil, as of 2016, there has been an increase in the share of parliamentary amendments (PAs) in the federal budget, transferred from the Brazilian Ministry of Health to municipalities to fund the Brazilian Unified National Health System (SUS). This article analyzes the association between PAs focused on SUS and the reelection of municipal mayors in 2024. The research used public secondary data, involving 2,818 municipalities. The reelection of mayors was related to the per capita average of amendments transferred from the Brazilian National Health Fund, from January 2021 to October 2024. Hierarchical logistic regression was used, controlling individual and political factors of candidates, and socioeconomic and demographic municipal factors. The results indicate a positive and statistically significant association between the increase in resources for health amendments and the probability of reelection of mayors in 2024 in all models and cutoffs. Note that the values of amendments were considerably higher in municipalities with up to 20,000 inhabitants compared to the other municipalities. Possibly, the amendments consolidate the image of city mayors as capable of attracting resources, strengthening their electoral support in a context of quota of federal expenses. The political use of the amendments contrasts with the criteria adopted for the transfer of resources from SUS programs and may weaken the coordination of the Brazilian Ministry of Health.
