Master's and doctoral degrees in nursing in Brazil: an ecological study.
Article in Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da U S P, 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
objectiveTo analyze the temporal trend and spatial distribution of master's and doctoral degrees in the field of nursing in Brazil.
methodAn ecological study using data from the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel, employing descriptive statistics and Joinpoint regression for temporal trend analysis.
resultsBetween 2004 and 2023, 22,923 degrees were awarded, of which 74.92% were master's degrees and 25.08% were doctoral degrees, with the highest concentration in the Southeast (49.74%), Northeast (22.20%), and South (20.78%) regions. Master's degrees showed an upward trend in Brazil (Average Annual Percentage Change-AAPC: 7.55; p < 0.000), with the greatest variation in the North region (AAPC: 16.40; p < 0.000). For doctoral degrees, an upward trend was also observed nationwide (AAPC: 8.31; p < 0.000), particularly in the Midwest (AAPC: 15.96; p < 0.000), while the North region did not record any doctoral degrees at this level during the analyzed period.
conclusionThe results showed an increasing trend in postgraduate degrees in the field of nursing, coexisting with regional inequalities, which reinforces the need for strategies aimed at expanding and decentralizing postgraduate education to reduce disparities in advanced training.
