Incorporating meteorological factors into a SARIMA model for predicting pediatric influenza epidemics.

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
Objective: Influenza, a contagious respiratory illness, imposes a substantial global disease burden, underscoring the critical need for timely and accurate surveillance systems. Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) models excel in capturing seasonal patterns and trends of infectious diseases. The distinct seasonality of influenza suggests that meteorological factors significantly influence its transmission, though their specific mechanisms remain incompletely characterized. We integrated meteorological variables into a SARIMA model to enhance the prediction of pediatric influenza epidemics, thereby providing a scientific foundation for precise prevention and control strategies. Methods: We analyzed 67,770 influenza-like illness (ILI) cases from Tianjin Children's Hospital (June 2018-June 2023) alongside meteorological data (temperature, humidity, precipitation, atmospheric pressure, wind speed, sunshine duration). We characterized influenza epidemiology, employed Spearman correlation and generalized additive models (GAM) to quantify associations between meteorological factors and ILI, and developed SARIMA models to forecast epidemic trends. Results: Pediatric influenza in Tianjin demonstrated significant seasonal and spatial heterogeneity, with children under 6 years comprising >70% of cases. Spearman analysis revealed negative correlations between ILI cases and relative humidity ( Conclusion: Pediatric influenza in Tianjin predominantly affects children under 6 years, peaks in winter, and clusters in urban centers. Low-temperature and low-humidity conditions-particularly low relative humidity-exacerbate transmission. SARIMA models incorporating meteorological parameters effectively predict influenza incidence, supporting data-driven public health interventions.
