Temporal analysis of gestational and congenital syphilis indicators in Brazil: toward the elimination of vertical transmission by 2030?
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, at national and regional levels, the trend of proxy indicators for the progress toward the elimination of the vertical transmission of syphilis in Brazil.
methodsThis is an ecological study that assessed the annual percent change (APC) of indicators related to gestational and congenital syphilis.
resultsAn APC of 11.15% was observed in the detection rate of gestational syphilis (95% confidence interval - 95%CI 2.78-23.19), with stability in congenital syphilis across all regions. There was a reduction of prenatal care coverage among pregnant women with syphilis (APC=-7.34%; 95%CI -10.15; -5.33), and also a decrease in late diagnosis of the infection (APC=-10.77%; 95%CI -14.29; -8.79).
conclusionsWe evidenced challenges in achieving the 2030 elimination targets, highlighting the need for adjustments in current public policies on syphilis prevention and control.
