Impact of COVID-19 on notifiable diseases: a time series study.
Article in Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da U S P, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 assess the indirect impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on tuberculosis, congenital syphilis, gestational syphilis, and dengue.
methodEpidemiological, ecological, time series study. The period from 2015-2021 was analyzed, in a medium-sized municipality in Paraná, and compared to the state of Paraná and Brazil. Data were extracted from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN). Gross and standardized incidence/detection rates were calculated. Temporal trends were constructed using linear regression models.
resultsThere was an increase in the rates of congenital syphilis in 2021 (30% of cases, β = 4.47, 95% CI: 1.24-7.69), gestational syphilis during the pandemic (41% of cases, β = 3.65, 95% CI: 1.08-6.21), and tuberculosis (β = 2.48, 95% CI: 1.08-3.88). There was an increase in the standardized mean rate for tuberculosis (p = 0.022) and congenital syphilis (p = 0.034) in the first two pandemic years.
conclusionCOVID-19 indirectly impacted the control of tuberculosis, congenital and gestational syphilis in the municipality studied. The high rates did not follow the national and state trend and indicate that health surveillance should be municipalized for local priorities.
