Epidemiological Characteristics of Human Brucellosis - China, 2016-2019.
Article in China CDC weekly, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 46 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
introductionBrucellosis is an important zoonotic infectious disease with its main mode of transmission from livestock to humans. The study analyzed epidemiological characteristics of human brucellosis from 2016 to 2019 in China, aiming to understand progress of the National Program of Brucellosis Prevention and Control.
methodsThe research obtained data on human brucellosis cases reported through China's National Notifiable Disease Reporting System (NNDRS) from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2019 and described brucellosis epidemiological patterns by region, seasonality, age, sex, and occupation.
resultsThe number of cases reported nationwide in China decreased from 47,139 (3.4/100,000) in 2016 to 37,947 (2.7/100,000) in 2018, and then increased to 44,036 (3.2/100,000) in 2019, with an average annual incidence of 3.0/100,000 during the four study years. Brucellosis in Xinjiang declined from 35.6/100,000 in 2016 to 16.3/100,000 in 2019 - an average annual decrease of 22.9%. Brucellosis in Inner Mongolia increased from 23.8/100,000 in 2016 to 54.4/100,000 in 2019 - an average increase of 31.8% per year and accounting for 22% of all reported cases. Northern China reported 95.2% of cases during this period and still had an incidence of 7.2/100,000 and 87.0% of counties being affected by brucellosis in 2019. In this region in 2019, males aged 45-64 years old had an incidence of over 15.9/100,000, compared with over 7.0/100,000 among females aged 45-64 years old.
conclusionslthough there was progress in prevention and control of human brucellosis in some provincial-level administrative divisions (PLADs) in 2016 through 2019, progress was limited nationwide and there was an overall resurgence of brucellosis in 2019. The resurgence was primarily in Inner Mongolia. An One Health approach should be strengthened to ensure successful and sustainable brucellosis prevention and control in China.
