Epidemiology of communicable diseases in Jazan region: Situational assessment, risk characterization, and evaluation of prevention and control programs outcomes.
Review in Saudi medical journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
The incidence of communicable diseases has witnessed a reduction in Saudi Arabia during the last 4 decades. Nonetheless, the Jazan region has been indicated as one of the main regions affected by various communicable conditions. The geographical, socioeconomic, and climate characteristics of Jazan have made it vulnerable to communicable and vector-borne diseases. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the epidemiology of communicable diseases in Jazan, Saudi Arabia. This review also gives a historical description of infectious diseases in the region and the relevant prevention and control measures. Prevention and control efforts in the Jazan region successfully eliminated Rift Valley fever and reduced the number of locally acquired malaria and chickenpox cases. Hepatitis B, dengue fever, and pulmonary tuberculosis have exhibited an increased incidence in recent years, suggesting a need for further epidemiological investigations and the application of relevant prevention and control measures.
