Analysis of the epidemiological characteristics of pulmonary tuberculosis in Shijiazhuang, China 2010-2023.

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
Background: Spatio-temporal analysis is a key epidemiological tool for monitoring disease transmission and identifying outbreak hotspots. However, the patterns of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) spread over time and space in Shijiazhuang remain poorly understood. This study aims to clarify the spatio-temporal dynamics of PTB transmission in this region. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study using PTB surveillance data from 2010 to 2023, extracted from the national Tuberculosis Information Management System. Descriptive epidemiological analysis was conducted to assess the severity and distribution characteristics of PTB in Shijiazhuang. The Joinpoint regression model was employed to analyze the annual temporal trends. Spatial autocorrelation analysis and Space-time scan analysis were utilized to explore the spatio-temporal clustering characteristics. Results: From 2010 to 2023, a total of 54,855 PTB cases were reported, with an average annual incidence of 38.97 per 100,000 population. Males, older adults, and farmers were disproportionately affected. The overall incidence declined significantly (AAPC = -7.65%, Conclusion: This study reveals a declining PTB incidence in Shijiazhuang, with a higher burden among males, older adults, and farmers, alongside persistent spatial clusters in rural areas, particularly in the north. These findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions and strengthened rural surveillance to achieve tuberculosis elimination goals.
