Neurological Manifestations of Dengue Fever.

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
backgroundDengue is a common endemic infection in India. Neurological complications involving various parts of the neuro-axis have been reported. We report neurological complications amongst dengue patients admitted to a tertiary hospital in Western India. MATERIALS AND
methodsPatients admitted in a tertiary hospital in Western India with dengue infection and having neurological symptoms were included in this study. Their history, physical examination, laboratory investigations and imaging studies were obtained from the inpatient records and analysed.
resultsBetween January 2014 to December 2019, a total of 5821 patients were diagnosed with dengue. Of these, 154 (2.64%) had neurological manifestations. Encephalopathy in a setting of multisystem involvement was seen in 31.2% patients, encephalitis with focal features, abnormal imaging and/or abnormal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination was seen in 15.6%, syncope in 27.3% and acute symptomatic seizure in 11.0%. Less common presentations were intracranial haemorrhage (4.5%), Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) (3.2%), optic neuritis (1.9%), myositis (1.3%), hypokalemic paralysis (1.3%), ischemic stroke (0.6%), posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) (0.6%), myoclonus (0.6%) and brachial plexopathy (0.6%).
conclusionsIn this study of patients admitted with dengue, neurological complications due to dengue were seen in 2.64%. Encephalopathy, encephalitis and syncope were the commonest manifestations, followed by acute symptomatic seizures, intracranial haemorrhage and GBS. The entire neuroaxis can be involved in dengue infection. To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest reported study of neurological complications of dengue.
