Estimated burden of acute gastroenteritis and foodborne gastroenteritis caused by non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica, Shigella and norovirus in Gansu Province, Northwest China.
Article in BMC public health, 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
backgroundInformation on the burden of disease caused by foodborne pathogens in Northwest China is limited. This study aims to estimate the burden of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) and foodborne salmonellosis, shigellosis and norovirus gastroenteritis in Gansu Province.
methodsUsing data from population surveys conducted during 2011-2015, the burden of AGE was estimated in Gansu Province. By determining the number of pathogen-specific cases from sentinel hospital surveillance conducted during 2014-2019, with adjustments applied for healthcare-seeking behavior and stool specimen submission based on data from population surveys, the burden of foodborne gastroenteritis caused by non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica, Shigella and norovirus in Gansu Province was calculated. A multiplier calculation model was developed, using Monte Carlo simulation to perform uncertainty estimation.
resultsThe adjusted monthly prevalence of AGE was 4.0%, equivalent to an average of 0.53 episodes of AGE per person-year in the region. The multiplier for salmonellosis was estimated at 1,682, for shigellosis at 1,590, and for norovirus gastroenteritis at 2,689. The estimated annual incidence of foodborne salmonellosis, shigellosis and norovirus gastroenteritis were 1,329, 195, and 2,590 cases per 100,000 population, respectively, which substantially exceeded the incidence of reported foodborne disease.
conclusionsWe concluded that AGE and foodborne gastroenteritis caused by non-typhoidal S. enterica, Shigella and norovirus constitute a significant health burden in Gansu Province. By continuously implementing population survey and enhanced sentinel hospital surveillance, with constructing a multiplier calculation model to estimate the burden of disease, we may gain a better understanding of the food safety situation in Northwest China.
