Definitive tests for dengue fever: when and which should I use?
Article in Singapore medical journal, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers.
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
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease that has established itself globally in both endemic and epidemic transmission cycles. While diagnostic decision-making for dengue is often guided by clinical judgement, definitive laboratory tests, including rapid point-of-care tests, have many advantages in the primary care setting. These include providing epidemiological data and diagnostic clarity for atypical cases, as well as contributing to patient education and compliance. This article discussed the types of diagnostic methods for dengue, when to use them and the appropriateness of each test. Viral detection diagnostic methods such as NS1 antigen assays are generally used within the first week of illness onset, whereas dengue serology testing is most appropriate after that time frame. Locally available rapid point-of-care tests, which include both assays in one convenient test kit, can enhance dengue diagnosis in an endemic setting.
