Nationwide hospitalization rates for salmonellosis in Chile, 2021-2024: A retrospective study.
Review in Preventive medicine reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Salmonellosis is a major enteric infection and a leading cause of diarrheal disease worldwide. In Chile, however, contemporary evidence on its hospital burden remains limited. This study aimed to estimate the hospitalization rate due to salmonellosis in Chile between 2021 and 2024 and to describe variations by sex, age group, and length of hospital stay. Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted using secondary data from the Department of Health Statistics and Information (DEIS) of the Chilean Ministry of Health and population estimates from the National Institute of Statistics (INE). Annual hospitalization rates were calculated per 100,000 inhabitants and stratified by sex and age group. Data were processed using Microsoft Excel. Results: Between 2021 and 2024, a total of 2672 hospital discharges due to salmonellosis were reported, corresponding to an overall hospitalization rate of 3.61 per 100,000 inhabitants. The lowest hospitalization rate was observed in 2022 (3.25), while the highest occurred in 2024 (4.29). A slight male predominance was observed during the study period (3.67 in men vs. 3.56 in women). Children under 5 years exhibited the highest hospitalization rate (11.74) Conclusions: The hospitalization rate of salmonellosis remained relatively stable during the study period, suggesting a persistent baseline level of hospital-treated disease in Chile. Continued epidemiological surveillance is essential to monitor potential changes in hospitalization trends and guide public health strategies. The higher hospitalization rates observed in children under 5 years and older adults highlight vulnerable age groups that may require focused monitoring and healthcare planning.
