Case Report: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever with Ischemic Stroke.
Article in The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Several neurological manifestations are recognized in dengue infection, but stroke is a rare complication. We report a case of ischemic stroke in a patient with dengue hemorrhagic fever. A 52-year-old previously healthy male presented with a history of fever for 2 days, and left-sided weakness and numbness of sudden onset. MRI scanning showed a right-sided thalamic lacunar infarct. Diagnosis of dengue fever was made based on leuco-thrombocytopenia, positive dengue nonstructural protein-1 (NS-1) antigen, and positive dengue IgM antibodies. Severity of limb weakness correlated with the critical phase of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). He was discharged home with good recovery from neurological symptoms and disability. Strokes are rare in dengue, and are mainly hemorrhagic strokes related to thrombocytopenia. Ischemic stroke is even rarer. More evidence is needed for confirmation of dengue as a pathogenic mechanism of ischemic stroke.
