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 factors associated with the diagnosis of brain death (BD) in hospitals in the State of Sergipe, Brazil.
methodQualitative study based on the theoretical-methodological framework of French DiscouCross-sectional study carried out between 2023 and 2024 in four hospitals in Sergipe. Participants were over 18 years of age, of both sexes, with three points on the Glasgow Coma Scale, neurological injury confirmed by brain tomography and absence of at least two brainstem reflexes.
resultsThe study included 69 participants and a higher prevalence of individuals from inland cities (65%), with median age of 52 years (42.0-68.0), female (59%), and of mixed ethnicity (62%) was observed. The main neurological causes were stroke and traumatic brain injury. Individuals in older age groups and individuals with cancer are less likely to have BD confirmed. The variable place of residence was significantly associated with the diagnosis.
conclusionIntegration of well-defined institutional protocols, telehealth consultations, and professional training are recommended as strategies that can lead to faster, safer, and more equitable diagnosis in contexts of structural vulnerability.
