Occupational Cancer Mortality Trends in Brazil, 1990-2023.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 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
objectiveThis study analyzes temporal trends in occupational cancer mortality in Brazil and its federative units from 1990 to 2023, focusing on regional and gender disparities.
methodsWe conducted an ecological time-series analysis using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database. We included deaths from malignant neoplasms attributable to occupational exposures and calculated age-standardized mortality rates. We applied segmented regression with the Joinpoint Regression Program (version 5.4) to estimate the Annual Percent Change (APC) and Average Annual Percent Change (AAPC) for Brazil and its states, stratified by sex.
resultsOccupational cancer mortality declined nationally (AAPC = -1.08; 95% CI: -1.37 to -0.85), with a more substantial decrease among men. Marked regional differences emerged: the South, Southeast, and Midwest regions showed consistent declines, while several states in the North and Northeast exhibited stable or rising rates, especially among women. Part of the observed recent decline coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic (2019-2023), suggesting potential underdiagnosis or underreporting.
conclusionBrazil has experienced a national decline in occupational cancer mortality; however, regional and gender inequalities persist. Territorial, economic, and occupational contexts shape these differences. Strengthening surveillance systems, updating exposure registries, and developing policies sensitive to regional and gender disparities may contribute to improving occupational cancer prevention and control.
