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

backgroundDengue is one of the most important vector-borne human viral diseases globally. The kinetic changes of hematological parameters of dengue in adult Taiwanese patients have seldomly been systematically investigated and characterized. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL

findingsSerial laboratory data of 1,015 adult patients who were diagnosed with dengue virus serotype 2 (DENV2) and 3 (DENV3) infections in southern Taiwan were retrospectively examined. Prominent parameters were verified with specimens from a 2015 dengue outbreak. Higher absolute monocyte counts on day 5 in severe patients than mild fever subjects after the onset of fever was seen. The absolute number of monocytes was significantly greater in those with DENV2 than DENV3 infections in spite of subtle differences in laboratory tests. Platelet counts were lowest and activated partial thromboplastin time was highest on day 5 in patients with severe conditions. In addition, sudden downward platelet counts corresponding to a transient surge of monocytes on day 4 onward was observed. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained from acute dengue patients and experimental investigations revealed that phagocytic effects of innate immune cells contribute to thrombocytopenia in dengue patients.

conclusionInnate phagocytic cells play an essential role in low platelet counts in adult patients with dengue virus infections.
