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
objectiveTo analyze the temporal trends in the prevalence of vasectomy and tubal ligation in 2006, 2013, and 2019 according to sociodemographic characteristics of the Brazilian population of reproductive age.
methodsA time series analysis was conducted using secondary data from three comparable national surveys that investigated the reproductive planning of Brazilian women. The prevalence of partner-reported vasectomy and tubal ligation was estimated with 95% confidence intervals.
resultsAn increase in the prevalence of partners' vasectomy was observed, from 4.2% to 5.6% among all women, and from 5.2% to 7.8% among those living with a partner, between 2013 and 2019. A decrease in tubal ligation prevalence was observed, from 32.2% to 17.3% among all women, and from 36.3% to 21.8% among those living with a partner, between 2006 and 2019. Black and Brown (Brazilian mixed race) women (2006 - 37.1%; 2013 - 27.2%; 2019 - 20.6%), those who had attended elementary school (2006 - 43.4%; 2013 - 36.8%; 2019 - 30.8%), living in rural areas (2006 - 40.0%; 2013 - 33.0%; 2019 - 26.8%), and who had three births (2006 - 64.2%; 2013 - 54.0%; 2019 - 44.1%) showed higher tubal ligation prevalence throughout the analyzed period. Women with private health insurance (2006 - 9.0%; 2013 - 6.2%; 2019 - 8.6%) reported higher vasectomy prevalence among their partners.
conclusionDespite the progress observed through the increased prevalence of vasectomy and the reduction of tubal ligation, gender and social inequalities regarding the use of these methods persist, highlighting the need to expand equitable access to long-acting contraceptive methods in the country.
