Spatial Distribution Analysis and Comparative Forecasting of Dengue Resurgence in the Philippines (2025-2027): A Nationwide Study.
Article in Transboundary and emerging diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Prediction of dengue continues to be valuable in endemic countries. Time series forecasting methods have been widely employed for predicting future dengue trends and outbreaks. The study aimed to determine the spatial distribution, trends, and seasonality of dengue cases and compare the predictive accuracy of seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA), neural network autoregression (NNAR), random forest (RF), long-short term memory (LSTM), trigonometric exponential smoothing state-space model with Box-Cox transformation, ARMA errors, trend and seasonal components (TBATS), and Prophet in forecasting dengue cases in the Philippines. Monthly data from 2017 to 2024 across all provinces were obtained and were partitioned into training (January 2017-December 2023) and testing segments (January 2024-December 2024). Model performance was assessed by analyzing the training data using time series techniques and comparing the resulting forecasts with empirical values from the test dataset. In total, 3-year projections were generated by implementing the models on the entire dataset. The study analyzed 1,903,425 dengue cases with a mean monthly incidence of 17.66 ± 15.97 per 100,000 population. Regular seasonal epidemics were identified, peaking from July to September. NNAR outperformed the other models and predicted an annual average of 444,678 cases from 2025 to 2027. This is the first study to apply SARIMA, RF, LSTM, TBATS, and Prophet in forecasting dengue cases in the Philippines at a national scale. The study offers new insights into disease forecasting, particularly in the application of advanced time series methodologies. These findings should be considered to strengthen surveillance, prevention, and control against dengue.
