Spatial Transmission Dynamics of Respiratory Syncytial Virus A in China.
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. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a major cause of acute respiratory infections (ARIs) globally, poses a significant threat, especially to vulnerable populations. However, the spatial transmission dynamics of RSV strains, including the influence of environmental and socioeconomic factors, remain inadequately understood. This study applied genetic sequences and phylogenetic methods to quantify evolutionary and spatial dispersal dynamics of RSV subgroup A (RSVA) across China from 2011 to 2019. We assessed viral population trends, mapped interprovincial transmission patterns, and evaluated the influence of meteorological and socioeconomic factors on viral spread. Our results revealed cyclical fluctuations in effective population size every 3-5 years, and a predominant southward spread driven by interprovincial transmission networks. We found that higher winter relative humidity (RH), urbanization rate, and human mobility promoted viral spread, while higher winter temperature and elevated urban population density appeared to inhibit it. These findings provide crucial insights into RSVA dispersal in China, underscoring the importance of regional surveillance networks and targeted interventions to curb cross-regional spread, and offer a valuable framework to inform RSV vaccine rollout strategies and guide resource allocation in high-risk areas.
