Rising epidemiological trends in prevalence and mortality of mpox: Global insights and analysis.
Article in Saudi medical journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesTo explore the global epidemiological trends in the prevalence and mortality due to mpox in various regions worldwide.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study the data about mpox outbreak were recorded by the "World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and GSAID" from August 2023 to August 2024, analyzing the epidemiological trends from different countries worldwide.
resultsThe total number of mpox cases has reached 99,518 (95,196 cases from 115 countries that have not historically reported mpox; and 4,322 cases from 07 states that have traditionally reported mpox), from a total of 122 countries. The top 10 countries with the greatest number of mpox cases include the United States (33,435) followed by Brazil (11212), Spain (8084), France (4272), Colombia (4249), Mexico (4124), United Kingdom (3952), Peru (3875), Germany (3857), and Democratic Republic of Congo (3104). America has the highest number of cases (63,145) accounting for 63% of total cases globally, followed by Europe (27,194). Democratic Republic of Congo faces the highest increase in cases within a single year, with the infectious rate in the region up by 160%, alongside a higher risk of mortality.
conclusionMpox cases have rapidly spread worldwide, reaching 99,518 cases across 122 countries, and being declared a "Public Health Emergency of International Concern" by the WHO. Healthcare authorities must take timely measures to control this outbreak since the world cannot afford the global burden of it being another potential pandemic.
