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

Many diseases have been linked with birth seasonality, and these fall into four main categories: mental, cardiovascular, respiratory and women's reproductive health conditions. Informatics methods are needed to uncover seasonally varying infectious diseases that may be responsible for the increased birth month-dependent disease risk observed. We have developed a method to link seasonal infectious disease data from the USA to birth month dependent disease data from humans and canines. We also include seasonal air pollution and climate data to determine the seasonal factors most likely involved in the response. We test our method with osteosarcoma, a rare bone cancer. We found the Lyme disease incidence was the most strongly correlated significant factor in explaining the birth month-osteosarcoma disease pattern (R=0.418, p=2.80X10-23), and this was true across all populations observed: canines, pediatric, and adult populations.
