1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Scrub typhus, also known as jungle typhus, is a vector-borne disease transmitted to humans through the bite of infected chiggers carrying Methods: Data were obtained from the China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention (CISDCP). We employed Joinpoint 5.1.0 for trend analysis and RStudio 4.4.1 for statistical analyses, including Mann-Whitney U tests (non-parametric), Cochran-Armitage tests, and binary logistic regression. SaTScan 9.1.1 and ArcGIS 10.7 were utilized to identify high-risk spatial clusters. Results: Scrub typhus incidence in China increased dramatically from 0.095/100,000 to 2.357/100,000 between 2006 and 2023. The epidemic trend was categorized into 3 distinct phases: a rapid increase period [APC Conclusions: Scrub typhus incidence in China has increased substantially and has reached a peak plateau phase. The disease exhibits distinct spatiotemporal distribution patterns, necessitating targeted control measures in affected regions.
