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
This study examines how digital tools can redesign primary healthcare systems, focusing on the digital transformation activities implemented by the Avança Saúde SP program in São Paulo, Brazil. With investments of US$200 million, the 5-year program (2019-2024) aimed to expand coverage and improve primary healthcare for the São Paulo population through investments in technology, management and infrastructure. Based on interviews with healthcare professionals and public officials, this case outlines the initiative's use of integrated systems for administrative and care services, telecare and risk management. The findings suggest that these actions have contributed to a more resilient, integrated and data-driven healthcare network in São Paulo. The program's combination of strategic leadership, interoperable digital platforms and integrated management systems demonstrates a potentially replicable model for strengthening primary healthcare resilience, offering valuable insights for other cities seeking to enhance health system preparedness, equity and efficiency.
