The epidemiological characteristics of notifiable infectious diseases in a Yunnan hospital, China, 2014-2023.

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
backgroundYunnan, particularly its border area, has consistently been identified with a high incidence of infectious diseases in China. We aimed to determine the incidence of notifiable infectious diseases (NIDs) by analyzing their distribution in a tertiary hospital located in Yunnan border.
methodsData on NIDs from January 2014 to December 2023 were extracted from the national reporting system. Descriptive analyses of the demographic, seasonal, and geographical distributions were conducted after categorizing the diseases into four groups: respiratory, blood-borne or sexually transmitted, digestive, and natural foci/vector-borne diseases.
resultsA total of 5,760 NIDs have been reported over the past ten years. Respiratory infectious diseases (51.88%) and blood-borne/sexually transmitted diseases (45.28%) were the mainly categories. The male-to-female incidence ratio was 1.84 (3,729 vs. 2,031 cases). Most patients with blood-borne/sexually transmitted diseases were 40–54 years old, while most patients with respiratory infections were over 55 years old. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the proportion of respiratory diseases exceeded others. Cases showed a clear seasonal pattern and a pronounced geographic concentration, with Honghe Prefecture alone accounting for 76.11% of all reported cases.
conclusionsOver the past decade, respiratory and blood-borne/sexually transmitted diseases were the predominant categories of NIDs in this Yunnan border hospital, with a significant burden on adult males and a marked geographic concentration in Honghe Prefecture. The observed dominance of respiratory diseases following the COVID-19 pandemic underscores the need to prioritize the prevention and control of respiratory infections, particularly among the elderly.
