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
The current study aimed to determine the trend in the incidence of various communicable diseases reported under the Integrated Disease Surveillance Program (IDSP) in Puducherry. This record-based study obtained disease details in terms of the number of suspected cases reported, tested, and positive for the selected diseases reported under IDSP from 2015 to 2019. Dengue disease has shown a recent declining trend in the number of cases and test positivity (7.2% in 2015 to 5.2% in 2019), and there has been a steady increase in the burden of Chikungunya over the years (4.1% in 2015 to 12.6% in 2019). Malaria has been controlled well in Puducherry, but the testing rate was only 3%-4%, well below the national recommendation of testing 10% of the total population. In 2018, there was a recent increase in influenza cases, with test positivity reaching up to 21%. The study unveils valuable insights into communicable diseases in Puducherry, highlighting the fluctuating burden of vector-borne, water-borne, and influenza infections.
