Assessment of inequalities in women's and children's health: Why, how, and for whom? Analyses of the Brazilian Live Birth Information System.
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
In this manuscript we discuss the importance of monitoring the analyses on health inequalities in women's and children's health. Data from the Brazilian Live Birth Information System were used to introduce the main inequality measures. The years from 2020 to 2022 were combined and at least one and eight or more antenatal care visits were considered as outcomes. As inequality measures, simple (ratios and differences) and complex measures for ordered (slope index of inequality and concentration index) and unordered (weighted and unweighted mean absolute difference from the mean) outcomes were presented. We discuss the strengths, limitations, and importance of inequality monitoring for researchers and policymakers.
