Epidemiological Analysis of Respiratory Diseases in Mexico From 2000 to 2020: Trends, Geographic Distribution, and Public Health Challenges.

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
introductionIn Mexico, respiratory diseases such as tuberculosis (TB), acute respiratory infections (ARI), pertussis (Pt), and pneumonia-bronchopneumonia (Nemu) represent critical public health challenges that contribute to morbidity and mortality and are exacerbated by socioeconomic factors and the COVID-19 pandemic.
objectiveTo evaluate the trends, seasonal patterns, and geographic distribution of major respiratory diseases in Mexico between 2000 and 2020. METHODOLOGY: Data from the National Epidemiologic Surveillance System were analyzed using advanced statistical methods, including Kruskal-Wallis tests, Mann-Whitney analysis, and multivariate analysis, to identify temporal and regional variations.
resultsA 21-year analysis revealed significant (χ² = 63.57, p < 0.01) trends in the incidence of respiratory diseases in Mexico. Results showed an increase in TB and Pt cases in recent years and a decreasing trend in ARI and Nemu, with fluctuations influenced by socioeconomic factors and the pandemic. Seasonally, TB and Pt showed the highest incidence in spring and summer (27.4% and 32%, respectively), whereas ARI (29.7%) and Nemu (33%) peaked in winter.
conclusionsPrevention, early diagnosis and treatment of TB and Pt need to be strengthened, and surveillance of ARI and Nemu must be maintained. Public health policies, vaccination campaigns, and inter-institutional and community collaboration are essential to address these challenges.
