Spatial patterns and socio-environmental determinants of gonorrhea incidence in China.
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. 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
Introduction: Gonorrhea is a major sexually transmitted infection in China, showing distinct regional clustering and spatial heterogeneity. Understanding its geographical distribution and influencing factors is crucial for targeted prevention. Methods: We analyzed 2022 gonorrhea incidence across 31 Chinese provinces using both traditional and spatial statistical approaches, including descriptive statistics, spatial autocorrelation, multiple linear regression (MLR), and spatial error models (SEM). Factors from five categories-economic, demographic, environmental, educational, and healthcare-related-were examined. The Geodetector method was additionally used to assess factor contributions and interactions. Results: Three key findings emerged: (1) Significant regional disparities in gonorrhea incidence were observed, with high-high clusters detected in southern provinces and low-low clusters in northern regions.; (2) SEM outperformed MLR, confirming stronger effects of illiteracy rate, bed utilization rate, sex ratio, and PM Conclusion: These results support spatially tailored intervention strategies that integrate sociodemographic and environmental factors for effective gonorrhea prevention.
