National trends in burden of enteric infections in China: Shifts from 1990 to 2021.
Article in Infectious medicine, 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
Background: Enteric infections impose a substantial global health burden annually, especially in countries with inadequate sanitation. This study aims to assess the trends in the burden of enteric infections in China. Methods: Prevalence, incidence, deaths, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) attributed to enteric infections by etiology in China were leveraged from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021. Temporal trends in the burden of enteric infections from 1990 to 2021 were determined by percent changes and average annual percent change (AAPC). Decomposition analysis for percent changes was conducted to understand the contributions of demographic and epidemiological changes. Results: In 2021, China bore 75.15 million incidence cases and 5,590 deaths from enteric infections, with age-standardized incidence and mortality rates of 59.04 per 100,000 and 0.44 per 100,000, respectively. Substantial decreases, mainly driven by epidemiological changes, were observed in incidence cases (-74.12%), deaths (-94.09%), and DALYs (-95.60%) from 1990 to 2021. Simultaneously, age-standardized incidence, mortality, and DALY rates showed decreasing trends for enteric infections and the subtypes in China. Diarrheal diseases were consistently the main constituent of the burden of enteric infections in China. Conclusions: From 1990 to 2021, China has made significant strides in the control of enteric infections. This study underscores the need for continued efforts for the improvement of the health system, and enhanced interventions and health promotion strategies for both young and older populations.
