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
Background: Epidemiological characteristics of human brucellosis (HB) have changed over the last decade. In this study, we depicted the spatiotemporal features of HB in Shenyang, China, from 2013 to 2022 and the objective was to visualise spatiotemporal patterns and identify high-risk regions with the purpose to provide evidence for HB prevention and control. Methods: We performed an observational epidemiological study using HB data obtained from the National Notifiable Disease Reporting System (NNDRS). Joinpoint regression analysis was employed to determine the changing trends in the annual incidence. A vector boundary map of Shenyang was used to visualise spatial distribution. Spatial autocorrelation was identified using both global and local Moran's autocorrelation coefficients, while hotspot areas were determined using the Getis-Ord statistic. Results: A combined sum of 4103 HB cases were analysed, and the average level of annual incidence of HB was 5.52 per 100,000. The incidence of HB showed obvious seasonality, with a notable peak observed from April to July (summer peak). The annual incidence in Shenyang has been on the rise since 2013, with an annual percentage change (APC) of 6.39% (95%CI 1.29%, 12.39%). Xinmin County exhibited the most elevated average annual incidence rate, with Faku County ranking second. The average annual incidence in rural areas exhibited a significantly greater disparity compared to suburban areas ( Conclusions: Rural areas are high-risk areas for HB and may be key to controlling HB epidemics. Although the annual incidence of HB in rural areas has increased, owing to the stability of spatial relationships and the disappearance of hotspots, there is little possibility of outbreaks; however, stricter monitoring should be applied in rural areas to prevent the emergence of new transmission routes.
