Estimating the transmissibility of the 2025 chikungunya fever outbreak in Foshan, China: a modelling study.
Article in Infectious diseases of poverty, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundFollowing the onset of an index chikungunya case on July 8, 2025, a significant outbreak occurred in Foshan, Guangdong Province, China. This study aimed to quantify the outbreak's transmissibility between June 16 and July 21, 2025.
methodsData were obtained from local Government, Statistics Bureau, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the relevant literature. We employed a transmission dynamic model that integrated human host-vector transmission to estimate the basic reproduction number (
resultsBetween June 16 and July 31, 2025, cumulative cases reached 2658, with 92.96% concentrated in the Shunde District. Model simulations showed that a cumulative case count is consistent with local reports (Pearson r = 0.99, P < 0.001). The median overall
