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

Background: Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (SFTS) has become a global public health concern in recent years. The main purpose of this study was to depict the epidemiological characteristics of SFTS in Jiangsu Province, China and evaluate the effects of meteorological factors on its dynamics. Methods: Joinpoint regression and spatial methods were used to explore the epidemiological trends of SFTS. Distributed Lag Non-linear Models (DLNM) were employed to evaluate the regional specific effects of meteorological factors on SFTS epidemics. Results: Between 2014 and 2023, a total of 914 SFTS cases were reported in Jiangsu Province, with an average annual incidence of 0.11 per 100,000 population and an overall case fatality rate of 7.44%. Cases aged 50-79 years accounted for 83.48% (763/914) of the total cases. Most affected individuals were farmers (69.14%, 632/914). Joinpoint regression analysis revealed an increasing trend in the incidence rate of SFTS, with an Annual Percent Change of 26.68% ( Conclusion: In conclusion, over the study period, SFTS incidence and geographic spread in Jiangsu Province showed an increasing trend. Temperature exerted a non-linear impact on the incidence of SFTS, characterized by notable lag effects.
