Hip Arthroplasty in Brazil (2014-2024): An Ecological Study of Temporal Trends and Regional Distribution in the Public Health System (SUS).
Article in Indian journal of orthopaedics, 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
Objective: To analyze the temporal trend and regional distribution of hip arthroplasty procedures performed within Brazil's Unified Health System (SUS) between 2014 and 2024, as well as associated costs, hospital stay, and in-hospital mortality. Methods: This ecological time series study used SIH/SUS data on hip arthroplasties performed between 2014 and 2024. Surgical subgroups were classified according to SIGTAP codes. Annual rates standardized per 100,000 inhabitants were calculated and stratified by regions and states. Temporal trends were assessed using Pearson's correlation. Mean hospital length of stay, annual costs, and in-hospital mortality were also analyzed. Results: There was a progressive increase in national hip arthroplasty rates, from 1.85 to 28.23 per 100,000 inhabitants between 2014 and 2024. A significant upward trend was observed in most regions, notably in the Northeast ( Conclusion: Between 2014 and 2024, there was a substantial increase in hip arthroplasties performed in the SUS, with important regional inequalities and variations in costs and outcomes. These findings underscore the need for public policies to expand equitable access and optimize healthcare resource use.
