The influence of anti-COVID-19 measures on the incidence of hand-foot-mouth disease in Zhanggong district of Ganzhou city in China.
Article in Heliyon, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives: In order to understand the efficacy of control measures and their impact on the prevention of Hand-foot-mouth disease, this study focuses on assessing the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak on the hand-foot-mouth disease prevalence. Methods: Descriptive epidemiological methods and an autoregressive integrated moving average model were employed to analyze the hand-foot-mouth disease incidence data in Zhanggong district of Ganzhou city in China from 2010 to 2019. Predictions for year 2020 and 2021 were extrapolated based on incidence series from 2010 to 2019. Subsequently, a comparative evaluation was undertaken between the predicted and actual values of the incidence of hand-foot-mouth disease during 2020 and 2021. Results: The annual average number of reported cases of hand-foot-mouth disease during the period from 2010 to 2021 was 2,027, and the annual incidence was 321.28 per 100,000 citizens in Zhanggong district of Ganzhou city. The autoregressive integrated moving average model (1, 1, 0) with smallest Bayesian information criteria value as 151.33 was chose for prediction. And the values of RMSE and MAPE were 775.54 and 32.7, respectively. The autoregressive integrated moving average model predicted 2640 cases above the observed count of 756 cases in 2020, and 463 cases above the observed count of 2140 cases in 2021. Conclusion: The disparity between the predicted values and the actual values for 2020 is larger than that for 2021. It is suggested that the COVID-19 prevention and control measures have a significant impact on reducing the incidence of hand-foot-mouth disease.
