Transmission patterns of pertussis in school-based clustered outbreaks: A retrospective analysis in Zhejiang Province, China, 2024.
Article in Human vaccines & immunotherapeutics, 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
We conducted a retrospective study using data from Zhejiang Province's pertussis surveillance system between February 1 and May 1, 2024, defining school-based clusters as ≥5 cases occurring within 21 d in the same class. We identified 124 outbreaks involving 825 confirmed cases, with cluster sizes ranging from 5 to 16 cases (median: 7). Most outbreaks occurred in primary schools (79.03%, 98/124), followed by kindergartens (19.35%, 24/124) and middle schools (1.61%, 2/124). Among cases, 19.3% (159/825) were index cases (predominantly aged 7-8 y) and 80.7% (666/825) were secondary infections. The median serial interval was 9.0 d (IQR: 5.0-13.0); it was significantly longer in kindergarten than in primary school cases (10.0 vs. 9.0 d,
