Spatial analysis of maternal mortality in Pernambuco before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Article in Revista brasileira de enfermagem, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 and spatial distribution of maternal deaths in Pernambuco before (2017-2019) and during (2020-2022) the pandemic.
methodsecological study of spatial analysis. Using data from the Mortality and Live Birth Information Systems, maternal mortality ratios by municipality were calculated and smoothed using the local empirical Bayesian method, and spatial autocorrelation was assessed using the Moran index.
results467 maternal deaths have been reported, with a higher incidence during the COVID-19 pandemic, constituting the main cause of maternal death. The spatial analysis identified priority areas in both periods, with the concentration of risk areas remaining in the state's Agreste region.
conclusionsidentifying priority areas is crucial as it allows for effective local action and, with appropriate policies and investments, it is possible to reduce maternal deaths and achieve the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals.
