Times series analysis of age-specific tuberculosis at a rapid developing region in China, 2011-2016.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
The city of Shenzhen has recently experienced extraordinary economic growth accompanied by a huge internal migrant influx. We investigated the local dynamics of tuberculosis (TB) epidemiology in the Nanshan District of Shenzhen to provide insights for TB control strategies for this district and other rapidly developing regions in China. We analyzed the age-specific incidence and number of TB cases in the Nanshan District from 2011 to 2016. Over all, the age-standardized incidence of TB decreased at an annual rate of 3.4%. The incidence was lowest amongst the age group 0-14 and showed no increase in this group over the six-year period (P = 0.587). The fastest decreasing incidence was among the 15-24 age group, with a yearly decrease of 13.3% (β = 0.867, P < 0.001). In contrast, the TB incidence increased in the age groups 45-54, 55-54, and especially in those aged ≥65, whose yearly increase was 13.1% (β = 1.131, P < 0.001). The peak time of TB case presentation was in April, May, and June for all age groups, except in August for the 45-54 cohort. In the rapidly developing Nanshan District, TB control policies targeted to those aged 45 years and older should be considered. The presentation of TB cases appears to peak in the spring months.
