Spatiotemporal analysis of nontraditional security issues evolution globally: evidence from news big data.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. 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
Since the twenty-first century, global non-traditional security (NTS) challenges have increasingly threatened society. This study uses event data from the Global Database of Events, Language, and Tone (GDELT) to examine how the frequency and impact of NTS issues have evolved worldwide from 2000 to 2023. Building on a newly constructed global panel dataset covering 153 countries, two complementary indicators, the CEN (count the number of event) and NSII (non-traditional security impact index), are calculated to measure the scale and severity of NTS activities. The analysis identifies five distinct phases in the global evolution of NTS issues, with peaks in 2012 and 2016 driven primarily by surges in terrorism and social instability in the Middle East, South Asia, and parts of Africa. Over time, NTS hotspots have gradually shifted toward more dispersed and transregional patterns, reflecting the diffusion of risks across interconnected systems. These findings underscore the need for adaptive, cross-border governance and continuous monitoring mechanisms. This study contributes a global, data-driven framework for tracking the spatiotemporal evolution of NTS risks and informing policy responses.
