Economic Burden of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease - Beijing Municipality, China, 2016-2019.
Article in China CDC weekly, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
What is already known about this topic?: Current research regarding hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) has primarily concentrated on the economic impacts, drawing from retrospective or sentinel hospital-based data. This approach often overlooks cases that were either not consulted or were misdiagnosed. What is added by this report?: This research systematically examined the iceberg phenomenon of HFMD and its economic implications in Beijing. Our findings indicate that each confirmed case represents 9.1 actual infections, imposing financial burdens of 25.58 United States dollars (USD) per unconsulted individual, 265.75 USD per misdiagnosed individual, 366.50 USD per individual with mild cases, and 2355.89 USD per individual with severe cases. The annual economic losses attributed to HFMD in the area range from 7.03 million USD to 13.31 million USD. What are the implications for public health practice?: This study offers insight into the actual prevalence of HFMD in Beijing, as well as conducting an economic burden analysis on a per-case, per-category basis. This could facilitate a cost-effectiveness analysis of prevention and control strategies for HFMD.
