Sen's Innovative Method for Trend Analysis of Epidemic: A Case Study of Covid-19 Pandemic in India.
Article in Transactions of the Indian National Academy of Engineering : an international journal of engineering and technology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Analysis of trend of epidemiological data helps to appreciate the progression of an epidemic and to develop monitoring and control strategies by the government agencies. Sen's Innovative Method suggests a graphical analysis, which can overcome many limitations of data such as short length, non-Gaussian nature, skewness or serial correlation. In this article, this method is applied for the first time on epidemiological data. For the case study, Covid-19 or SARS-CoV-2 data from India were employed. The results show that Sen's Innovative Method is capable of indicating the shift in epidemiological trend quite efficiently, before it is reflected in the time series or moving average plots. The graphical analysis worked particularly well in comparing the trends of monthly data. It is concluded that this method would be especially suitable for monitoring the epidemiological trend by breaking up the data into smaller segments, as was illustrated in the study.
