Intrastate inequality of COVID-19 vaccination coverage: spatial analysis and socioeconomic, Santa Catarina, 2021-2023.

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 distribution of COVID-19 vaccination coverage in Santa Catarina, Brazil, and its association with socioeconomic aspects of the state's municipalities between 2021 and 2023.
methodsWe analyzed data on individuals aged 12 and over, with a full three-dose vaccination schedule. The independent variables included educational data, municipal human development and racial composition of municipalities. We analyzed the evolution and spatial distribution of vaccination coverage, identifying clusters of municipalities and calculating absolute ratios and differences between the highest and lowest quintiles of vaccination coverage.
resultsVaccination coverage in the state as a whole was 26.9% for adolescents, 50.3% for adults and 78.8% for the elderly. Municipalities with higher vaccination coverage had 5.4 times more people vaccinated in the 12-17 age group, 2.1 times more in the 18-59 age group and 1.4 times more in the population aged 60 and over. Municipalities with a higher educational level, a lower Black population proportion and a lower municipal human development index had higher vaccination coverage. These disparities were persistent. Clusters of municipalities with high vaccination were found.
conclusionThere were disparities in the state's vaccination coverage, with association between socioeconomic aspects of the municipalities.
