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
Objectives: Pertussis is a globally endemic infectious disease, with recent resurgences reported even in countries with high vaccination coverage. This study aimed to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of pertussis cases in the Capital Region of Republic of Korea in 2024 and provide foundational data for future disease control strategies. Methods: We conducted a descriptive analysis of confirmed pertussis cases reported to the Infectious Disease Information System between January 1 and December 31, 2024. The variables analyzed included demographic characteristics, monthly and regional incidence, clinical symptoms, vaccination status, and outbreak distribution by location and region. Results: In 2024, a total of 26,239 pertussis cases were reported cases in the Capital Region of Republic of Korea, representing a significant increase from the previous year. Most cases occurred in children and adolescents, with a notable surge starting in May and peaking during the summer. Respiratory symptoms were observed in 99.1% of the cases; of these, 23.5% had paroxysmal cough and 76.4% had mild or atypical cough. A total of 1,556 outbreaks involving 9,657 related cases were identified, with 98.8% linked to school settings. Conclusions: The recent increase in pertussis cases in the capital region appears to be driven by a combination of factors, including transmission among children and adolescents and school-based outbreaks. Considering the 2024 domestic trends and international developments, a systematic revision of national pertussis prevention and response strategies is urgently needed.
