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: Despite high childhood vaccination coverage, pertussis has resurged in China in recent years. Understanding its evolving epidemiology is critical for guiding public health interventions. This study analyzed spatiotemporal trends and identified key drivers of pertussis notification rates in Chongqing, China (2013-2024). Methods: We analyzed longitudinal surveillance data of pertussis cases from the National Notifiable Infectious Disease Reporting System (NNDRS) in Chongqing, China (2013-2024). Demographic and vaccination coverage data were obtained from the Basic Information System (a subsystem of the NNDRS) and the National Immunization Program Information System (NIPIS), respectively. We employed joinpoint regression to quantify long-term notification rate trends, interrupted time-series analysis to evaluate the impact of national diagnostic criteria revisions (2017, 2024), spatiotemporal scan statistics to identify high-risk space-time clusters, and multilevel linear mixed-effects models to determine district-level factors associated with notification rates, while accounting for random variations across districts and years. Results: From 2013 to 2024, 33,226 pertussis cases were notified in Chongqing. A dramatic surge occurred in 2024, accounting for 68.55% ( Conclusion: This study documents a substantial resurgence of pertussis in Chongqing from 2013 to 2024, characterized by a notable change in age distribution. Although infants (aged <1 year) maintained the highest notification rate, school-aged children (5-10 years) emerged as the largest case group in 2024. Consequently, establishing seroepidemiological surveillance to directly quantify population immunity is essential for designing targeted and effective control measures.
