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
introductionPresentation of febrile illness with nonspecific features, overlapping manifestations of dengue and leptospirosis, limited laboratory diagnostic tests, make the clinical diagnosis of pyrexia a challenge. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of
methodsThis is a retrospective hospital-based study which included patient data collected from June 2016 to May 2017. Inpatients' samples (n=2139) were tested for dengue and/or
resultsAmong 1612 serum samples tested for dengue IgM by ELISA, 382 (23.7%) were positive, 17 equivocal and 1213 were negative. Of the 811
conclusionsThe study emphasizes the possibility of leptospirosis and dengue co-infection (3.2%) and need for confirmation by a highly specific test like PCR. If co-infection is suspected, treatment with specific antibiotics for leptospirosis and supportive treatment for dengue is mandatory, with due attention to complexity of organ involvement.
