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 analyze the epidemiological characteristics of self-inflicted violence notifications among individuals aged 10 years or older residing in municipalities of the Eastern health macro-region of Minas Gerais from 2019 to 2023, and to evaluate the surveillance system for this condition through the attributes of data quality, representativeness, timeliness, and acceptability.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional study with a descriptive approach, which analyzed the epidemiological profile of self-inflicted violence notifications and the attributes of data quality, representativeness, timeliness, and acceptability, in accordance with the guidelines of the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
resultsA total of 2,817 cases of self-inflicted violence were reported in the macro-region, 69.7% (1,964) of which occurred among women, with a median age of 25 years. Data quality was classified as good (acceptable duplication rate: 1.9%; moderate consistency: 83.5%; and moderate completeness: 70.9%). Representativeness was considered moderate, based on the completeness of victim profiles (70.1%), time of occurrence (100.0%), and place of occurrence (63.7%). Timeliness was inadequate for 24-hour reporting (52.1%), data entry within seven days (24.8%), and same-day case closure (34.2%). System acceptability was assessed as unacceptable due to low timeliness and unsatisfactory completeness of key variables (68.4%).
conclusionWeaknesses were identified in the completion of notification forms and delays in case identification and reporting, rendering the system unacceptable. It is expected that strategies will be strengthened to improve the surveillance of self-inflicted violence, with a focus on prevention efforts.
