A multi-method spatial analysis of dysentery incidence determinants across Chinese provinces.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: Dysentery remains a significant notifiable Class B infectious disease in China, exhibiting distinct spatial variations in incidence patterns. This persistent geographical heterogeneity necessitates a systematic investigation into the underlying influencing factors to inform targeted prevention and control strategies. Methods: Our analytical approach incorporated Moran's I index for spatial autocorrelation analysis, multiple linear regression (MLR) for preliminary assessment, and advanced spatial regression models including spatial error model (SEM), geographically weighted regression (GWR), and multiscale geographically weighted regression (MGWR). The analysis incorporated socioeconomic, educational, healthcare, and demographic factors within a unified spatial framework. Results: The analysis revealed three key findings: (1) Significant spatial clustering of dysentery incidence with identified high-risk concentration in the Beijing-Tianjin region; (2) Superior performance of MGWR modeling in capturing spatial heterogeneity compared to conventional methods; (3) Distinct regional variations in dominant factors, with economic development most influential in western China, education factors predominant in northeastern areas, and healthcare resource availability showing strongest impact in the northeast but minimal effect in southern regions. Conclusions: The study demonstrates the value of multiscale spatial analysis in understanding geographical disease patterns, revealing that dysentery incidence in China is governed by different factors across regions.
