Epidemiological characteristics of brucellosis in non-occupational population in Zhejiang Province, China, 2018-2024: epidemic trend and infection analysis.

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
objectiveTo clarify the epidemiological characteristics of brucellosis in non-occupational populations in Zhejiang Province during 2018–2024, provide evidence for formulating targeted prevention and control strategies, and respond to the core requirement of “human-animal-environment” collaborative prevention and control under the One Health framework.
methodsData on brucellosis cases among non‑occupational populations in Zhejiang Province were obtained from the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Individual case investigations were also carried out for the corresponding cases. After standardized collation and validation, descriptive epidemiological analyses were performed with R 4.3.1 software.
resultsA total of 499 non-occupational brucellosis cases were reported in Zhejiang Province during 2018–2024, accounting for 43.96% (499/1137) of the total brucellosis cases in the province over the same period. The proportion of non-occupational cases showed a significant year-on-year upward trend (Trend χ² test = 15.53, P < 0.001). Among the 499 cases, 317 were male and 182 were female, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.74:1. The age of patients ranged from 1 to 91 years, with a median age of 54 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 43–64 years); the median age of males was 53 years (IQR: 42–63 year) and females 55 years (IQR: 43.75–66 years). The main transmission routes were direct contact (55.31%, 276/499) and digestive tract transmission (17.43%, 87/499). The predominant clinical manifestations included fever, excessive sweating, myalgia/arthralgia and fatigue. The median interval from onset to confirmed diagnosis was 19 days (IQR: 10–43 days), indicating a certain degree of diagnostic delay.
conclusionThe proportion of non-occupational brucellosis cases in Zhejiang Province has increased year by year, making this population a key group that cannot be ignored in local brucellosis prevention and control. To effectively curb this trend, efforts should be made to further strengthen the popularization of brucellosis prevention and control knowledge among the general public and prioritize specialized training on brucellosis diagnostic capabilities for medical workers. The One Health framework provides a critical theoretical and practical basis for cross-sectoral interventions integrating human health, animal epidemic prevention, and environmental governance.
