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
objectivesTo describe reported cases of child abuse that occurred from 2011 to 2021 in Brazil and to compare the annual reporting rates of physical, psychological and sexual violence, and neglect/abandonment by sex and age group.
methodsData on all cases of violence against children reported on the Notifiable Health Conditions Information System each year were analyzed. The proportions of reported cases for each type of violence were calculated according to age group (0-4 years and 5-9 years) and sex. The cases were characterized according to occurrence, victim and perpetrator, also stratified by age group and sex. Annual reporting rates (per 100,000) were obtained by sex and age group. Comparison of occurrence by sex and age group was made by obtaining the ratio between rates each year.
resultsMost of the 401,058 reports identified were of victims aged 0-4 years (63.5%), cases occurring at home (84.9%) and with the mother (52.5%) and the father (34.6%) as the most frequent perpetrators. Throughout the period, the highest reporting rates were for neglect/abandonment of children of both sexes aged 0-4 years. Psychological and sexual violence were approximately two and 3.5 times, respectively, more frequently reported among girls in both age groups.
conclusionsNeglect/abandonment is the type of violence most reported by health professionals in the period studied and most frequently victimizes younger children, regardless of sex. Girls suffer sexual and psychological violence more than boys.
