Associations of greenhouse gases, air pollutants and dynamics of scrub typhus incidence in China: a nationwide time-series study.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundEnvironmental factors have been identified as significant risk factors for scrub typhus. However, the impact of inorganic compounds such as greenhouse gases and air pollutants on the incidence of scrub typhus has not been evaluated.
methodsOur study investigated the correlation between greenhouse gases, air pollutants from the global atmospheric emissions database (2005-2018), and reported cases of scrub typhus from the Public Health Science Data Center. First, an early warning method was applied to estimate the epidemic threshold and the grading intensity threshold. Second, four statistical methods were used to assess the correlation and lag effects across different age groups and epidemic periods. Deep learning algorithms were employed to evaluate the predictive effect of environmental factors on the incidence of scrub typhus.
resultsUsing the Moving Epidemic Method (MEM) and Treed Distributed Lag Non-Linear Model (TDLNM), we found that the period from April to September is the epidemic season for scrub typhus in China. During this period, BC, CH
conclusionsWe found that most greenhouse gases and air pollutants increase the risk of contracting scrub typhus, mainly driven by CH
