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

Recently, there has been an alarming increase in Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) and dengue virus infection cases in Bangladesh. As the 2 viral diseases share many similar symptoms, healthcare practitioners are facing difficulty in correctly diagnosing them. Even with the help of confirmatory diagnostic tests, the misdiagnosis has been reported in several countries and cases of co-infections are also emerging. This study presents the clinical symptoms of dengue fever and COVID-19 and identifies the overlapping symptoms seen in these 2 diseases that might cause difficulty in diagnosis. We have also discussed cases of misdiagnosis and incidences of co-infection seen in other countries. Finally, we present our recommendations for preventing the surge of dengue and possible solutions for differentiating and managing these 2 diseases. Immediate measures are required from health practitioners and public health policymakers before these viral diseases spiral out of control.
