Temporal Trends of Hospital Admissions Due to Heart Failure in Brazil.
Article in Arquivos brasileiros de cardiologia, 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
backgroundHeart failure is a global pandemic that causes a significant reduction in quality of life, with an impact on hospital expenses. It is important to know the temporal trends of hospitalizations and mortality in order to outline coping strategies.
objectiveThe objective of this study was to describe the temporal trends of hospitalizations due to heart failure and mortality during hospitalizations between 2000 and 2021 in Brazil.
methodsWe conducted a study on temporal trends in the rates of hospitalization and mortality during hospitalization, using data from the Department of Information Technology of the Brazilian Unified Health System, by means of joinpoint regression. We calculated the annual percentage change of the rates with respective 95% confidence intervals and alpha significance level of 0.05.
resultsWe analyzed 2,851,437 hospitalizations in men and 2,749,424 hospitalizations in women between 2000 and 2021 in Brazil. Regarding hospitalization rates, there was an annual percentage decrease of 6.7% to 8.1% in men and a decrease of 7.5% to 8.3% in women. With respect to mortality rates, there was an annual percentage increase of 1.8% to 3.6% in men and an increase of 3.1% to 3.5% in women.
conclusionWe observed a decrease in the rates of hospitalization due to heart failure and an increase in the mortality rates in all age ranges assessed, in both sexes, between 2000 and 2021 in Brazil. These findings may reflect better disease control and hospitalization only for more severe cases, but we emphasize the need for continued management of risk factors for the disease.
