Spatiotemporal epidemiology of influenza in Fujian Province: an 18-year observational study.
Observational study in BMC infectious diseases, 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
objectiveTo investigate the spatiotemporal epidemiological characteristics and temporal trends of influenza in Fujian Province, China, from 2005 to 2022.
methodsDescriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the temporal, demographic, occupational, and regional distribution of influenza cases. Spatial autocorrelation analysis, trend surface analysis, and spatiotemporal scan statistics were applied to explore the spatial distribution and clustering characteristics of influenza.
resultsA total of 215,338 influenza cases were reported in Fujian Province during 2005-2022, with the incidence rate showing an overall fluctuating upward trend over time (Z = 4.394, P < 0.001). Children aged 0-5 years and students accounted for the largest proportions of reported cases. Influenza activity demonstrated marked temporal and seasonal variation, with relatively higher activity observed in summer and winter. Trend surface analysis indicated higher case concentrations in eastern and central regions of Fujian Province. Significant positive spatial autocorrelation was identified in multiple years, and six significant spatiotemporal clusters were detected, mainly distributed in southeastern Fujian.
conclusionInfluenza in Fujian Province showed an increasing annual incidence trend, marked temporal fluctuation, and dynamic spatial clustering during 2005-2022. These findings may support more targeted influenza surveillance, prevention, and resource allocation in high-risk populations and areas.
