1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious, notifiable, and fatal hemorrhagic viral disease affecting domestic and wild pigs. The disease was reported for the first time in India during 2020, resulted in serious outbreaks and economic loss in North-Eastern (NE) parts, since 47% of the Indian pig population is distributed in the NE region. The present study focused on analyzing the spatial autocorrelation, spatio-temporal patterns, and directional trend of the disease in NE India during 2020-2021. The ASF outbreak data (2020-2021) were collected from the offices of the Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Services in seven NE states of India to identify the potential clusters, spatio-temporal aggregation, temporal distribution, disease spread, density maps, and risk zones. Between 2020 and 2021, a total of 321 ASF outbreaks were recorded, resulting in 59,377 deaths. The spatial pattern analysis of the outbreak data (2020-2021) revealed that ASF outbreaks were clustered in 2020 (z score = 2.20, p < .01) and 2021 (z score = 4.89, p < .01). Spatial autocorrelation and Moran's I value (0.05-0.06 in 2020 and 2021) revealed the spatial clustering and spatial relationship between the outbreaks. The hotspot analysis identified districts of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and districts of Mizoram, Tripura as significant hotspots in 2020 and 2021, respectively. The spatial-scan statistics with a purely spatial and purely temporal analysis revealed six and one significant clusters, respectively. Retrospective unadjusted, temporal, and spatially adjusted space-time analysis detected five, five, and two statistically significant (p < .01) clusters, respectively. The directional trend analysis identified the direction of disease distribution as northeast-southwest (2020) and north-south (2021), indicate the possibility of ASF introduction to India from China. The high-risk zones and spatio-temporal pattern of ASF outbreaks identified in the present study can be used as a guide for deploying proper prevention, optimizing resource allocation and disease control measures in NE Indian states.
