Novel Cricket World Cup Mass Gatherings Surveillance for Event-Based Surveillance in the Caribbean Region.
Article in Journal of epidemiology and global health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo proactively identify and respond to potential health threats during mass gathering (MG) events using the regional MG Surveillance Framework across host countries for the 2024 T20 Cricket World Cup. DESIGNS/
methodsThis framework, using multiple data sources, including the MG Surveillance module, provided daily intelligence and threat analysis to host nations. Specifically, the module allowed on-the-field data entry and immediate analysis; its infrastructure featured an Alerting mechanism built upon thresholds customized for MG events. Alerts were generated once thresholds were passed, notifying the relevant stakeholders immediately.
resultsThirty-one MG and Health Facility Sites were registered onto the system and surveillance teams across the host countries were able to digitally capture 146 cases (generating 17 syndromic cases; 14 acute gastroenteritis-related and 3 fever with respiratory symptoms). The system reported non-communicable health issues like accidents/injuries (33 cases) and heat-related illnesses (22 cases).
conclusionThe MG surveillance module illustrated its ability to provide health care practitioners and decision-makers with real-time data, syndromic alerts and analytics. The early warning and response mechanism facilitated early identification, communication and response to disease threats emanating from these events, and consequently reduce the risk of outbreak events that can overwhelm the health systems in the Caribbean.
