Epidemiological Characteristics and Risk Factors of Severe Fever With Thrombocytopenia Syndrome in Yantai City, Shandong Province.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Background: To better understand the epidemiological characteristics and risk factors associated with the incidence of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) in Yantai City, Shandong Province, China. Methods: The SFTS data from 2010 to 2019 were obtained from the National Notifiable Disease Reporting System, and visualization was performed using ArcGIS 10. A community-based, 1:2 matched case-control study was conducted to investigate the risk factors for SFTS in Yantai City. Standardized questionnaires were used to collect detailed information about the demographics and risk factors for SFTSV infection. Results: A total of 968 laboratory-confirmed SFTS cases were reported, 155 (16.01%) of which were fatal. The SFTS epidemic curve revealed that most cases occurred from May to August, accounting for 77.27% of all studied cases. The SFTS cases were mainly distributed in Lai Zhou, Penglai, Zhaoyuan, Haiyang, and Qixia from 2010 to 2019 (accounting for 83.47% of all cases). No differences in demographics were observed between the cases and controls. In the multivariate analysis, presence of rats in the household (odds ratio [OR] = 2.89, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.94-4.30), bitten by the ticks 1 month before the onset of symptoms (OR = 15.97, 95% CI = 5.36-47.60), and presence of weeds and shrubs around the house (OR = 1.70, 95% CI = 1.12-2.60) were found to be the risk factors for SFTS. Conclusions: Our results support the hypothesis that ticks are important vectors of the SFTS virus. Education on SFTS prevention and personal hygiene should be imparted in high-risk populations, especially among outdoor workers living in SFTS-endemic areas, while vector management should also be considered.
