Predicting high dengue incidence in municipalities of Brazil using path signatures.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Predicting the likelihood of high infectious disease incidence is critical for effective health surveillance. In the epidemiology of dengue, environmental conditions can significantly impact the transmission of the virus. Utilizing epidemiological indicators in conjunction with environmental variables can enhance predictions of dengue incidence risk. This study analyzed a dataset of weekly case numbers, temperature, and humidity across Brazilian municipalities to forecast the risk of high dengue incidence using data from 2014 to 2024. The framework involved constructing path signatures and applying lasso regression for binary outcomes. Sensitivity reached 75%, while specificity was extremely high, ranging from 75 to 100%. The best performance was observed with information gathered after 35 weeks of observations using data augmentation via embedding techniques. Path signatures effectively capture information from epidemiological and climate variables that influence dengue transmission. This framework can be applied in other countries, and its predictions can help optimize resource allocation for disease control.
