Expanding the Geographic Boundaries of Melioidosis in Queensland, Australia.
Article in The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Melioidosis is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei. Although this environmental organism is endemic in certain regions of Australia, it is not considered endemic in Southern Queensland, where the last case was reported 21 years ago. We report a climate change-associated outbreak of melioidosis occurring during two La Niña events in a region previously considered nonendemic for B. pseudomallei. During a 15-month period, 14 cases of locally acquired melioidosis were identified. Twelve patients were adults (> 50 years), with diabetes mellitus the most common risk factor in 6 of 12 patients (50%). Eleven patients (79%) had direct exposure to floodwaters or the flooded environment. This study suggests an association between climate change and an increased incidence of melioidosis. In addition, this is the first report of environmental sampling and whole-genome analysis to prove endemicity and local acquisition in this region.
