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

An early warning model for infectious diseases is a crucial tool for timely monitoring, prevention, and control of disease outbreaks. The integration of diverse multi-source data using big data and artificial intelligence techniques has emerged as a key approach in advancing these early warning models. This paper presents a comprehensive review of widely utilized early warning models for infectious diseases around the globe. Unlike previous review studies, this review encompasses newly developed approaches such as the combined model and Hawkes model after the COVID-19 pandemic, providing a thorough evaluation of their current application status and development prospects for the first time. These models not only rely on conventional surveillance data but also incorporate information from various sources. We aim to provide valuable insights for enhancing global infectious disease surveillance and early warning systems, as well as informing future research in this field, by summarizing the underlying modeling concepts, algorithms, and application scenarios of each model.
