Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 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 profile and temporal trend of hospitalizations due to abortion complications in the Northeast region of Brazil from 2014 to 2024.
methodsA time-series study using data from the Unified Health System's Hospital Information System (SIH). Hospitalizations of women of childbearing age (10 to 49 years) were analyzed. Hospitalization rates were calculated per 10,000 women of childbearing age, and the temporal trend was analyzed using the Prais-Winsten regression model with robust variance, allowing for the estimation of slope coefficients (β), coefficients of determination (R²), and statistical significance (p < 0.05) using R software.
resultsA total of 685,569 hospitalizations due to abortion complications were identified. A statistically significant downward trend was observed in most states, except in Piauí (p-value = 0.106). The highest mean hospitalization rates occurred in Bahia (38.1 ± 2.6 per 10,000 women) and Piauí (38.1 ± 2.0 per 10,000 women), while the lowest was in Pernambuco (30.9 ± 3.2 per 10,000 women). Hospitalizations were most frequent in the 20-29 age group (58.3/10,000; p < 0.0001), with significant reductions among the 10-29 age groups (β ranging from - 0.217 to - 2.164) and an increase among women aged 40-49 (β = 0.171; p = 0.0079). Analysis by race/color revealed significant disparities: while hospitalization rates among White women showed a stable trend (β = 0.116; p = 0.322), there was a significant increase in records for Brown (β = 3.259; p = 0.0017) and Black women (β = 0.347; p = 0.0011). For analytical purposes, these two groups (Brown and Black) are presented separately in the Results to maintain statistical precision but are combined into the single category of 'Black Women' in the Discussion to address structural inequalities, following IBGE conventions. Concurrently, a marked reduction was observed in cases lacking race/color information (β = -3.702; p = 0.0010), which may indicate progressive improvement in the quality of SIH/UHS data.
conclusionDespite the overall reduction, regional, age-related, and racial disparities persist, underscoring the need for reproductive health policies targeted at the most vulnerable groups.
