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 estimate the mortality attributable to passive smoking in the population aged 35 years old and older, by gender, in the 27 Brazilian state capitals, from 2009 to 2021.
methodsA prevalence-dependent method was used, based on the calculation of population attributable fractions (PAF). Deaths from diseases causally related to passive smoking were obtained from the Mortality Information System of the Brazilian Unified Health System (SIM/SUS); prevalence data were taken on SHS exposure were obtained from Vigitel surveys (2009-2021); and relative risks were obtained from a meta-analysis. Mortality attributable to passive smoking and mortality rates were estimated by capital city, year, gender, and cause of death. Trends in crude mortality rates attributable to passive smoking were analyzed using joinpoint regression models.
resultsPassive smoking accounted for 64,913 deaths in all Brazilian state capitals between 2009 and 2021. Cardiovascular diseases were the main cause of death in both genders. The mortality rate attributed to passive smoking decreased from 33.1/100,000 deaths in 2009 to 15.4/100,000 deaths in 2021. This reduction was observed in all 27 Brazilian state capitals, both overall and by gender.
conclusionPassive smoking was responsible for 1.4% of all deaths in Brazil during the period 2009-2021 and showed a favorable trend, with rates decreasing by half during the period.
