Mobile Emergency Care Service: direct costs for personnel, materials, medications and solutions.
Article in Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da U S P, 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.

methodA bottom-up microcosting by retrospective absorption in the form of a single case study. Data were collected from a sample of 380 Systematized Care Records for 2022. Costs were obtained by multiplying the time spent per professional by direct labor unit cost, adding input costs.
resultsIn Advanced Life Support teams, average direct costs for doctors and nurses were US$10.98, and for materials, medications and solutions, US$8.72, totaling US$19.70/service. In Basic Life Support teams, average direct costs for nursing technicians were US$1.11, and for materials, medications and solutions, US$2.10, totaling US$3.21/service.
