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

The dengue virus is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that causes dengue fever (DF), dengue hemorrhagic fever, and dengue shock syndrome. DF is characterized by fever, headache, arthralgia, retro-orbital pain, and skin rashes. However, some patients with DF develop post-dengue fatigue syndrome (PDFS) following their initial febrile episode. Fatigue is common during the febrile episode of DF; however, PDFS is defined as the presence of a stubborn sense of tiredness that results in a decreased capacity for physical and mental work. PDFS carries a spectrum of musculoskeletal and neurological features. Following the recovery of DF, vasomotor symptoms such as hot flashes, excess sweating, and mood changes are rare. We present the first reported case of PDFS in a young woman in Sri Lanka.
