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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesDengue is an emerging and re-emerging infectious disease, transmitted by mosquitoes. It is mostly prevalent in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world, particularly, in Asia-Pacific region. To understand the epidemiology and spatial distribution of dengue, a retrospective surveillance study was conducted in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India during 2011-2013. MATERIAL AND

methodsDistrict-wise disease endemicity levels were mapped through geographical information system (GIS) tools. Spatial statistical analysis such as Getis-Ord Gi* was performed to identify hot spots and cold spots of dengue disease. Similarly self organizing maps (SOM), a datamining tool was also applied to understand the endemicity patterns in study areas.

resultsThe analysis shows that districts of Warangal, Karimnagar, Khammam and Vizianagaram are reported as hot spot regions whereas Adilabad and Nizamabad reported as cold spots for dengue. The SOM classify 23 districts in 03 major (07 sub) clusters. These SOM clusters were projected in the geographical space and based on the disease/cases intensity the districts were characterized into low, medium and high endemic areas.

conclusionThis visualization approach, SOM-GIS helps the public health officials to identify the disease endemic zones and take real time decisions for disease management.
