Spatial scanning for the identification of risk areas for fetal death: an ecological study in Pernambuco.
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 describe the epidemiological characteristics and the use of the spatial scanning technique to identify clusters of fetal deaths in Pernambuco, between 2013 and 2022.
methodAn ecological study having the municipalities as the unit of analysis, carried out in Pernambuco. Data from the Mortality and Live Birth Information Systems have been used. The relative risk of fetal death was calculated, and descriptive statistics and the chi-square test were applied to compare proportions by five-year period. For the spatial analysis, the spatial scanning statistics technique was applied.
resultsA total of 15,336 fetal deaths were recorded, being that 8,132 (53%) were in the first five-year period (2013 to 2017). The variables maternal age, maternal education, type of delivery, fetal sex and birth weight, death in relation to delivery, and place of death, have been related to the five-year periods. Health regions V, VI, VII, and XI presented clusters with a high risk of death.
conclusionThe characterization of fetal deaths allows us to understand the circumstances that led to these deaths. The clusters with the highest risk of death indicate priority regions for health planning interventions to improve the maternal and child care network.
