[Regulation and ban of asbestos in Latin America and the Caribbean: a comparative policy analysis].

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
Introduction: Asbestos is a mineral used in different industrial activities, but it has a significant impact on the health of the working population. Several countries have established policies to prohibit or regulate its use. Objective: Comparatively characterize public policy measures to prohibit and regulate asbestos in Latin America and the Caribbean. Methods: Qualitative design using the comparative policy analysis method. Documentary sources based on current national standards were consulted and six categories were constructed based on inductive coding. Results: The comparison between public policies of the countries of the region reflects some relevant aspects such as: scope of the prohibition, multisectoral surveillance organizations and sanctioning actions; conditions and exceptions for asbestos substitution; prevention, monitoring and health care activities; disposal and management of asbestos waste and formulation of specific policies or programs. Conclusions: Only a small group of countries in the region have a total ban on asbestos, reflecting the international situation. It is important to continue advancing in studies that analyze political processes and evaluations of policy implementation in each country
