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

This study aimed to describe the socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of dengue inpatients at a provincial hospital, and to identify factors associated with severe dengue. This is a retrospective study involving 402 dengue patients admitted to the Savannakhet Provincial Hospital, Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), between January 2018 and April 2019. Socio-demographic factors, clinical signs and laboratory data on admission, final diagnosis, use of health care services before admission, admission date, and hospitalization period were collected from patient records. The number of dengue inpatients was higher in the rainy season than in the dry season. Of the 402 patients, 205 patients (51.0%) were finally diagnosed with severe dengue. Children aged <15 years had more symptoms, higher proportion of severe dengue (69.8% vs. 35.9%), and longer hospitalization (3.5 days vs. 3.0 days) than adults aged ≥15 years. In multivariable analyses, factors associated with severe dengue were nausea on admission (adjusted odds ratio=3.57, 95% CI=1.05-12.09,
