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
This study aimed to analyze the temporal and spatial distribution of home mortality in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, before and during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is an ecological study of residents aged 15 or older, developed in two stages: (i) Time-series analysis on mortality rates according to place of occurrence; home mortality rates (HMR) according to underlying cause, age, and sex; and the proportion of home deaths by race/color and educational level from 2010 to 2020, and; (ii) Spatial analysis to observe the spatiotemporal variation of home deaths from 2010 to 2020 by Administrative Region (AR). Data from the Brazilian Mortality Information System, population estimates and the Social Progress Index (SPI) were used, all of which are publicly available and anonymized. Between 2019 and 2020, home deaths increased by 25.5%, mainly due to infectious and parasitic diseases, mental disorders, and ill-defined causes. HMR increased in all age groups except 15-19 years, with a higher proportion of home deaths among black individuals and in those with up to three years of education. Two clusters were detected: the primary (2016-2020) showed the highest HMR in ARs with high SPI, while the secondary (2020) had the highest HMR in ARs with lower SPI. Excess mortality was observed in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic in municipality of Rio de Janeiro. Changes in the profile and causes of home deaths, along with the rise of HRM in AR with lower SPI, suggest an increase in home mortality among socially vulnerable populations during the pandemic.
