EVALUATION OF A DECADE OF ONCOLOGICAL-ORTHOPEDIC PROCEDURES IN BRAZIL (2015-2024) AND THE IMPACT OF COVID-19.
Article in Acta ortopedica brasileira, 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
Objective: To evaluate the regional distribution of hospital admission authorizations (AIH), total and average hospitalization cost (AHC), average length of stay, number of deaths and mortality rate related to oncological-orthopedic procedures funded by the Unified Health System (SUS) between 2015 and 2024, with an emphasis on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Ecological study with time series based on data obtained from the SUS Hospital Information System, analyzed by Brazilian regions in the pre-pandemic, pandemic and post-pandemic periods. Regional differences were calculated using ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis. The impact of the pandemic was analyzed using T-tests and ARIMA with intervention. Statistical analysis was performed in R. Results: 9,120 AIHs were recorded, mostly in the Southeast (4,375) and South (2,252) regions. Multiple regional variations were found for all the variables evaluated. Only the AHC was impacted - there was an increase in costs per procedure; The other variables maintained the trend after the beginning of the pandemic. Conclusions: Despite the increase in the AHC, we did not observe significant variation in the number of AIH, ALS, and MR when analyzing the pre-pandemic and pandemic periods, suggesting that there was no direct impact on the performance of the analyzed procedure.
