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

Background: The multifaceted non-pharmaceutical interventions after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic not only limited the spread of SARS-CoV2 but also had an impact on the prevalence of other pathogens. Methods: In this work, we retrospectively analyzed the epidemiological characteristics of Results: Compared to 2019, the number of visits and the positive cases both decreased substantially in 2020, but the positivity rate increased. Both 2021 and 2023 were peak years of MP infection. The peak seasons of MP infection were fall and winter, female patients had higher positivity rate than male patients, and school-age children (>6 years) had higher positivity rate than the children in other age groups. In terms of the clinical manifestation of MP infection, compared to 2019, in 2023, the proportion of bronchopneumonia and upper RTI decreased significantly. Conclusions: The ongoing surveillance of the epidemiology of MP is critical for effective disease management and provides a basis for diagnosis, treatment, and the corresponding prevention and control strategies. This work for the first time characterized the epidemiology of MP in Shandong before and after the COVID-19 pandemic, thus providing valuable information for monitoring and preventing MP infection in the post-epidemic era.
