Spatial distribution and incidence trend of human alveolar echinococcosis in southwest Germany: increased incidence and urbanization of the disease?
Article in Infection, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 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
Ecology and epidemiology of Echinococcus multilocularis and human alveolar echinococcosis (AE) are changing in Central Europe. Our data from a regional referral center for AE in southwest Germany suggest rising regional incidence for AE (annual incidence per 100,000 population 2004-2011: 0.12; 2012-2019: 0.20) and emerging urban AE (of 7 cases of AE in Freiburg city dwellers none was diagnosed before 2012) calling for an intensification of E. multilocularis and AE surveillance and of AE prevention measures.
