Maintenance of inequity in the provision of chronic dialysis treatment in Brazil.
Article in Jornal brasileiro de nefrologia, 2026. 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
introductionThe high rate of people with chronic kidney disease on dialysis is a public health problem, especially in developing countries.
objectivesTo evaluate demographic and socioeconomic changes related to dialysis treatment in Brazil from 2002 to 2019.
methodsThis descriptive, analytical study reviewed retrospective documentary data. A comparative analysis was conducted on demographic, economic, and social trends, as well as changes in dialysis service provision in Brazil between 2002 and 2019. Correlation analysis between Municipal Human Development Index (HDI-M) and the number of dialysis units was performed.
resultsThere was an increase in the percentage of the older population (5.3% vs. 9.25%) and in life expectancy at birth (70.8 vs. 75.9 years). The gross domestic product (GDP) increased by 453%; the percentage of investment in public health (below 4%) was stable and the ranking of global Human Development Index decreased (73 vs 84). The increase in the prevalence of patients on chronic maintenance dialysis was greater than the increase in the number of patients in new centers (117.3% vs. 43.9%), with fewer patients receiving treatment in the North and Northeast regions. There was a positive linear correlation between the HDI-M values and the number of dialysis units (R = 0.52; 95% CI: 0.75-0.18; p = 0.006).
conclusionDespite Brazil's strong economic growth and the drastic demographic changes that occurred during the study period, this progress did not translate into a higher investment in health and equitable access to dialysis treatment across the country.
