Nationwide Spatial Patterns and Maternal and Birth-Related Factors Associated with Orofacial Clefts in Brazil.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 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
This study aimed to identify spatial clustering and maternal and birth-related factors associated with the incidence of orofacial clefts in Brazil from 2001 to 2022. A nationwide ecological study was conducted in Brazil using data from 2001 to 2022 obtained from the Brazilian Live Birth Information System (SINASC). The municipality was used as the spatial unit of analysis. Variables included maternal age and education, newborn sex, gestational age, birth weight, and skin color/ethnicity. Univariate and bivariate global and local Moran's I indices were used to assess spatial autocorrelation. A total of 234 municipalities (4.2%) formed high-high spatial clusters, primarily in the South and Southeast, while 431 municipalities (7.7%) formed low-low clusters, mostly in the Northeast (Moran's I = 0.121, 95% CI: 0.107 to 0.135). High-high clusters had a lower median proportion of adolescent mothers (≤19 years: 17.4%) and a higher proportion of mothers aged ≥ 35 years (12.9%) compared to low-low clusters (23.5% and 8.7%, respectively;
