1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background and Aims: Rabies is an endemic disease in Iran. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine the association between sex and age of rabies death cases, detect the trends of the incidence of human rabies, and to compute the burden of human rabies between 2012 and 2021. Methods: The age was categorized, and the association between the sex and the age groups was determined with Fisher's exact test and post hoc test with adjusted standardized residuals method. The trends of the incidence of overall, female, and male rabies were visually examined. The statistical significance of the trends were determined with joinpoint regression. Disability-adjusted life years (DALY) was separately computed for males and females. Results: Between 2012 and 2021, 69 rabies deaths occurred. The highest frequency was reported in males aged 10-14 years. The association between sex and age was statistically significant ( Conclusion: The association between the sex and age of rabies cases in Iran was statistically significant. The incidence of deaths had an increasing trend, while the findings of the joinpoint regression were probably due to the large variation in the data.
