Epidemiological profile of surgical treatment of lung cancer: retrospective analysis, Brazil, 2014-2023.
Article in Epidemiologia e servicos de saude : revista do Sistema Unico de Saude do Brasil, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 the socioeconomic influences on the surgical treatment of lung cancer in Brazil and to provide reflection points to propose more effective strategies for tackling this disease.
methodsData from 2014 to 2023 were extracted from the Hospital Information System of the Brazilian Unified Health System and the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. Sex and region of origin of patients who underwent surgical procedures for lung cancer were analyzed. Statistical analyses were performed using GraphPadPrism software version 8.0.1 and R software version 4.4.2.
results20,805 surgical procedures and 112,118 diagnoses of malignant neoplasms of the bronchi and lungs in Brazil were analyzed between 2014 and 2023. Women accounted for 50.6% of the procedures. Men accounted for 54.7% of the diagnoses. There was no significant difference between sexes in terms of procedures performed or consultations (p-value>0.05). The South region had the highest rate of procedures (20.1/1 million inhabitants/year). The North region had the lowest rate of procedures (3.5/1 million). A 51.6% increase in procedures was identified over the decade, with positive correlations between the Human Development Index (r=0.62; p-value<0.001) and per capita income (r=0.48; p-value 0.010) with procedures.
conclusionSocioeconomic factors appear to influence access to surgical treatment of lung cancer in Brazil, with significant regional disparities, especially in the North and Northeast regions. The increase in surgical procedures reflects technological advances and public policies, but inequalities in access persist. Investments in infrastructure and equitable policies are essential to address these inequalities.
