SARS-CoV-2 and dengue virus coinfection in an adult with beta-thalassemia (trait): A case report from Bangladesh with literature review.
Article in Heliyon, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionCoinfections are common in pandemics, however not in recorded patients with hemoglobinopathies. The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic struck Bangladesh at the beginning of March 2020, which is also an apt period for endemic Dengue fever in this monsoon region. CASE REPORT: We report a 30-year-old man with hemoglobinopathies coinfected with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and Dengue virus. Dengue virus was detected by Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). COVID-19 was confirmed by Reverse-transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) and Hemoglobin Electrophoresis revealed heterozygous beta-thalassemia or thalassemia trait. The patient was treated successfully at Dhaka Hospital in icddr,b during COVID-19 emergency response with symptomatic supportive treatment for COVID-19 and appropriate fluid therapy for dengue fever in response to daily hematocrit level. The patient's repeated RT-PCR for COVID-19 on day-21 became negative. For thalassemia, the patient was advised to have genetic counseling and family screening on discharge.
conclusionThe possibility of coinfection between COVID-19 and Dengue fever may be considered in a COVID-19 patient with unremitting fever especially in an area where Dengue fever is epidemic that may further help to attain appropriate management of the patient.
