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

backgroundInternal migrants have an enormous impact on tuberculosis (TB) epidemic in China. Zhejiang Province, as one of the developed areas, also had a heavy burden caused by TB.

methodsIn this study, we collected all cases in Zhejiang Province through the TB Management Information System from 2013 to 2017. Description analysis and Spatio-temporal analysis using R software and ArcGIS were performed to identify the epidemiological characteristics and clusterings, respectively.

results48,756 individuals in total were notified with TB among the migrant population (TBMP), accounting for one-third of all cases identified. The primary sources of TB from migrants outside the province were from Guizhou, Sichuan, and Anhui. Wenzhou, Taizhou, and Lishui were the three mainly outflowing cities among the intra-provincial TBMP and Hangzhou as the primarily inflowing city. Also, results implied that the inconsistency of the TBMP in spatial analysis and the border area of Quzhou and Lishui city had the highest risk of TB occurrence among the migrants. Additionally, one most likely cluster and four secondary clusters were identified by the spatial-temporal analysis.

conclusionThe effective control of TB in extra-provincial MP was critical to lowering the TB burden of MP in Zhejiang Province. Also, it is suggested that active TB screening for migrant employees outflowed from high epidemic regions should be strengthened, and further traceability analysis needs to be investigated to clarify the mechanism of TB transmission in clustered areas.
