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: To examine the epidemiological features of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) in Pingliang City, Gansu Province, between 2014 and 2024 in order to provide guidance for developing, putting into practice, and improving HFMD preventive and control policies and measures in Pingliang City. Methods: Methods of descriptive epidemiology were used. From January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2024, data on HFMD cases in Pingliang City, Gansu Province, as well as yearly demographic data from every county and district were gathered. Excel and SPSS 27.0 software were used for data organization and Results: From 2014 to 2024, a cumulative total of 4,641 HFMD cases were reported in Pingliang City, with an average annual incidence rate of 22.53 per 100,000 population. The highest incidence rate was recorded in 2017 (39.18 per 100,000), while the lowest occurred in 2022 (2.91 per 100,000). The incidence rate exhibited an overall upward trend, with statistically significant differences ( Conclusion: Children under five years of age living in scattered households remain a high-risk group for HFMD. Targeted preventive measures should be implemented for key populations, including public awareness campaigns, health education initiatives, and the promotion of vaccination to reduce incidence rates.
