Spatiotemporal distribution and ecological factors of brucellosis among children from 2016 to 2020 in Inner Mongolia, China.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveIn recent years, the increasing incidence of brucellosis in children has become more serious. However, relatively few studies have been conducted to characterize the spatialtemporal distribution of brucellosis in children. This study aimed to analyze the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics and ecological influencing factors of brucellosis incidence among children in Inner Mongolia.
methodsThis study used data on brucellosis incidence in children aged 0-14 years reported in Inner Mongolia from 2016 to 2020. A Bayesian model was used to analyze the spatial and temporal distribution of brucellosis in children from 2016 to 2020 in Inner Mongolia. Geographical weighted regression model was used to analyze the ecological factors related to the incidence of brucellosis in children.
resultBayesian spatiotemporal analysis indicated that the highest brucellosis risk and increased disease incidence were observed in Hinggan, Inner Mongolia, in children aged 0-14 years. Alxa had the lowest risk but the incidence rate increased rapidly. The incidence of childhood brucellosis was positively associated with the number of sheep at the year-end (β: 2.5909 ~ 2.5926, P < 0.01), average temperature (β: 2.8978 ~ 2.9030, P < 0.05), and precipitation level (β: 3.3261 ~ 3.3268, P < 0.01).
conclusionFrom 2016 to 2020, the overall incidence of brucellosis in children in Inner Mongolia showed an upward trend, with cases exhibiting spatial aggregation. We should focus on areas where the incidence of brucellosis in children is rising rapidly. The incidence of childhood brucellosis was associated with the number of sheep at the year-end, average temperature and precipitation level. IMPLICATIONS AND CONTRIBUTION: The findings suggest that brucellosis in children is not to be taken lightly. For children should also focus on protection, take corresponding protective measures. While we focus on high-risk areas, we must also monitor areas where the risk of disease is low, but the incidence is rising fast, to prevent outbreaks in low-risk areas from becoming high-risk areas.
