Impact of a national policy on congenital heart disease mortality in Brazil.

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
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of the implementation of a National Plan for the Assistance of Children with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) in Brazil on infant mortality rates. Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from the Mortality Information System (SIM) for the period 2012-2023. In 2017, the Brazilian Ministry of Health launched a National Health Policy through Ordinance No. 1727, aiming to expand pediatric cardiac surgery capacity and reduce regional disparities in care for CHD. The study included all deaths among children under 1 year of age with CHD, identified using the International Classification of Diseases-10 codes Q20-Q28. We compared the mean infant mortality rates between two periods: before (2012-2017) and after (2018-2023) the policy implementation. In addition, we examined the relationship between CHD mortality and socioeconomic indicators, including the Human Development Index (HDI) and the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI). Results: There was no significant reduction in infant mortality rates between the two periods. When analyzing mortality rates by Brazilian region, no statistically significant differences were observed before and after the ordinance, except for the north region, which showed a worsening trend (112.9 vs. 125.3 deaths per 100,000 live births; Conclusions: So far, no significant change in infant mortality due to CHD has been observed in Brazil following the implementation of the National Plan for the Assistance of Children with CHD.
