1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesTo identify spatial clusters of risk and analyze maternal sociodemographic and obstetric factors associated with the occurrence of congenital heart diseases in the municipality of São Paulo between 2012 and 2022.

methodPopulation-based cross-sectional study and ecological spatial analysis using data from the Live Birth Information System (Sistema de Informações sobre Nascidos Vivos, SINASC) from 2012 to 2022 in the municipality of São Paulo. The outcomes were newborns diagnosed with congenital heart disease (International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems 10th Revision: Q20-Q28) and, as the comparison group, all other live births. Spatial scan analysis and logistic regression were used to estimate odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI).

resultsA total of 1,777,316 live births were recorded, of which 9,293 presented congenital heart diseases. Spatial analysis identified a cluster of cases in the municipality's northern area. Occurrence was associated with: residence in areas of spatial clustering (OR 2.97; 95%CI 2.82; 3.12), preterm pregnancy (OR 2.61; 95%CI 2.45; 2.78), triple or higher-order pregnancy (OR 2.60; 95%CI 1.57; 4.31), twin pregnancies (OR 1.14; 95%CI 1.00; 1.30), stable union (OR 1.44; 95%CI 1.37; 1.53), level of education between 1 to 7 years (OR 1.26; 95%CI 1.14; 1.39), 8 to 11 years (OR 1.20; 95%CI 1.11; 1.29), age between 35 to 49 years (OR 1.19; 95%CI 1.11; 1.28), and Asian (OR 1.81; 95%CI 1.47; 2.24) and Black race/skin color (OR 1.16; 95%CI 1.06; 1.27).

conclusionIndividual maternal characteristics and territorial factors were associated with the occurrence of congenital heart diseases, revealing population profiles and priority areas for health actions.
