1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 comparatively analyze the social distancing and vaccination measures BRICS countries implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This exploratory study is anchored in the contributions of historical institutionalism and the historical-comparative method in Social Sciences. This research prioritized two axes: social distancing and vaccination measures. Some BRICS countries showed similar characteristics, such as loose, flexible, social distancing measures under decentralized coordination (except for China); frail social assistance measures (Brazil, India, and South Africa); and biotechnological resources (in China and Russia). Regarding vaccination, three aspects are similar: late start (except in China and Russia), vaccination coverage (complete schedule) under 70% of the population in December 2022 (except for China and Brazil), and vaccine hesitancy. The diverse responses BRICS countries adopted regarding social distancing and vaccination against COVID-19 were related to political, social, and economic factors that conditioned the implementation of such measures.
