Epidemiological and Clinical Features of Patients with Scrub Typhus - Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, China, 2012-2018.
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 4 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
WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC?: Scrub typhus (ST) causes public health challenges in the "tsutsugamushi triangle" in the Asia-Pacific area greater than 13 million square kilometers, affecting an estimated one million people each year. WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT?: A retrospective study based on 4,501 hospitalized patients with ST in Guangzhou City, China, described the epidemiological and clinical characteristics, laboratory findings of ST, and determined the related factors and a predictive model for severe disease. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE?: The current study provided updated knowledge that might enable public health policymakers to formulate appropriate measures to prevent ST and medical workers to perform targeted management to recognize and treat severe ST patients.
