Exploring the Relationship Between Religion, Health, and Sociodemographic Factors in Brazil During the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Article in Journal of religion and 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
This cross-sectional study examined the relationship between religion, sociodemographic factors, and health in Alegre, Brazil, during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 694 individuals were interviewed, of whom 49.6% (n = 344) were Catholic, 36.5% (n = 253) Evangelical/Protestant, 7.5% (n = 52) non-religious, and 6.5% (n = 45) affiliated with other religions. Logistic regression revealed factors linked to Catholicism (older age, marriage, medical appointments) and Protestantism (older age, mixed race, outlying residence, marriage, alcohol abstinence). Non-religious individuals were younger and, along with Catholics, had higher alcohol consumption, which may harm health. Protestants exhibited greater COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. These results provide crucial insights into how religion intersects with public health during crises.
