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

Haematological and vascular features of dengue virus infection are common and vary from tiny skin haemorrhages to significant bleeding such as epistaxis, gastrointestinal bleeding and hematuria. Spontaneous splenic rupture has also been reported as an atypical manifestation in dengue fever. We report a case of splenic infarction in a 35-year-old man who presented with fever, vomiting, diffuse abdominal pain and distention, diarrhoea, hematuria, headache, back pain, hypotension, pleural effusion and ascites. Laboratory evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of dengue hemorrhagic fever, and abdominal imaging revealed splenic infarction. He required intensive care, responded well to inotropic support and remarkably improved.
