Big Data is changing the battle against infectious diseases.
Article in Canada communicable disease report = Releve des maladies transmissibles au Canada, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Big Data has traditionally been associated with computer geeks and commercial enterprises, but it has become entrenched in many scientific disciplines including the prevention and control of infectious diseases. The use of Big Data has allowed disease trends to be identified and outbreak origins to be tracked and even predicted. Big Data is not getting smaller. The challenges we face are to hone our analytical capacity to address the huge "signal-to-noise" ratio with adequate computing power and multidisciplinary teams that can handle ever-increasing amounts of data. Big Data will also create the opportunity for future applications of
