Noncommunicable diseases attributed to low levels of physical activity in Brazil: an epidemiologic Global Burden of Disease Study.
Article in Revista da Associacao Medica Brasileira (1992), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveThe aim of the study was to present estimates of mortality from noncommunicable diseases attributable to low physical activity in Brazil in 2019.
methodsAn epidemiologic and descriptive study. We retrieved the data during the month of September 2023. Two independent researchers accessed the indicators in the Global Burden of Disease database: (i) number of cases and (ii) mortality from cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, kidney diseases, and neoplasms, and (iii) level of physical activity in Brazilian individuals for the year 2019. Data were extracted by two researchers independently for the states of Brazil, stratified by sex (male and female), age groups (15-49 years, 50-69 years, and 70 or more years), cause of death and corresponding mortality (cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and kidney diseases, and neoplasms) and classified by regions according to geographic and administrative distribution in North, Northeast, Southeast, South, and Central-West. The number of deaths, age-standardized mortality, and years of life lost due to the disease were extracted, gross and in rates per 100,000 inhabitants.
resultsMortality from noncommunicable diseases associated with low levels of physical activity in Brazil in 2019 was 293.39 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants, highest in Maranhão, with 407.98 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants, and lowest in the Distrito Federal and Minas Gerais, respectively.
conclusionsCardiovascular disease was the most prominent risk factor among the results of this study.
