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 temporal trend of neonatal mortality rates and preventable neonatal deaths in Bahia.
methodsThis was a time series study of neonatal deaths in Bahia from 2010 to 2020. Neonatal mortality rates and their components were calculated and analyzed according to sociodemographic, obstetric, and newborn characteristics, as well as causes of death. Joinpoint regression analyses were used to estimate trends, annual percentage change (APC), and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI).
resultsA total of 26,661 neonatal deaths were identified. A decreasing trend was observed for neonatal mortality (APC -1.9; 95%CI -2.4; -1.5) and early neonatal mortality (APC -2.2; 95%CI -2.6; -1.8), while late neonatal mortality showed a stationary trend (APC -0.7; 95%CI -2.1; 0.7). Higher frequencies of neonatal deaths were observed among children born to mothers aged 20 to 34 years, with 8 to 11 years of schooling, single pregnancies, preterm births, vaginal deliveries, male newborns, low birth weight, and those with certain conditions originating in the perinatal period and congenital malformations. A decreasing trend was found in neonatal mortality due to preventable causes through adequate care during pregnancy and childbirth. However, an upward trend was identified for some preventable causes of neonatal death, such as congenital syphilis.
conclusionThe decline in neonatal mortality rates indicated progress in prenatal and childbirth care. Differences in trends of preventable deaths emphasized the need to expand and improve health services through public policies that address regional inequalities and strengthen comprehensive maternal and child health care.
