Assessment of the quality of notifications and investigations of congenital syphilis in Bahia, 2010-2021.
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 evaluate the quality of the information in the congenital syphilis notification and investigation forms as a tool for epidemiological surveillance to monitor children with the disease.
methodsAn ecological time-trend study was conducted using secondary data from the SINAN system in Bahia between 2010 and 2021. The study assessed the annual percentages of incompleteness, the proportional percentage variation, and the percentage of inconsistency. The temporal trend in incompleteness was analyzed using Spearman's correlation coefficient.
resultsAmong the ten maternal variables evaluated, a reduction in data incompleteness was observed for seven of them. In the fields pertaining to the child, there was a reduction in the degree of data incompleteness for nine of the 11 variables evaluated (p ≤ 0.05). In the child follow-up, the study found that 86.7% of the investigation forms did not contain information on the nontreponemal test in peripheral blood at birth. For the treponemal test after 18 months, the percentage of forms lacking this information was 99.3%.
conclusionDespite the reduction in the number of incomplete fields on the congenital syphilis investigation form, the high percentage of forms lacking information on laboratory results compromises the assessment of clinical progression and follow-up of children with syphilis.
