Temporal Analysis of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Incidence in an Endemic Area of Southeast Iran.
Article in Acta parasitologica, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeCutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is the most common type of leishmaniasis in tropical and subtropical areas. This study investigated the trend of CL changes from 2009 to 2022, and predicted the number of leishmaniasis cases until 2024.
methodsThis ecological study was performed on new monthly confirmed CL cases from 2009 to 2022 from the leishmaniasis registration system in southeast Iran. The time series method was used to investigate the trend of changes in CL from 2009 to 2022. SARIMA model was run to predict the number of leishmaniasis cases until 2024 by controlling the effect of climatic variables on the disease process.
resultsThe analysis showed a significant increase in CL cases in 2015 and from 2021 to 2022. The minimum number of registered cases was observed in 2018, with 81 cases. The maximum number was also observed in 2021, with 318 patients. The leishmaniasis cases decreased from January to June and increased from July to December. According to the results of SARIMA (1, 0, 0) (1, 0, 0) multivariate analysis, the temperature in log 12 has a significant negative correlation with the number of leishmaniasis cases. This model predicted a decreasing trend in leishmaniasis cases until 2024.
conclusionThe southeast region of Fars province is one of the hyper-endemic regions of the disease, and it is prone to periodic outbreaks. An active surveillance system must investigate the CL incidence trend and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions to prevent the occurrence of new outbrea.
