Risk Factors Associated with Passengers with Imported Dengue Fever at International Airports in Taiwan.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Dengue fever (DF) is a mosquito-borne disease prevalent in the tropics (e.g., sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and Central and South America) and a common cause of febrile illness in travelers. The high incidence of imported DF in Taiwan has led to a domestic outbreak. This study explored the risk factors associated with individuals given diagnoses of imported DF at international airports in Taiwan. The results may serve as a reference for DF prevention. In this retrospective study, data from the symptom notification system database of the Taiwan Centers for Disease Control (TCDC) were used. These data concerned travelers who returned to Taiwan from DF-endemic areas with suspected DF symptoms. The epidemiological characteristics of the cases were analyzed, and 28 variables related to DF infection were included in the multivariate logistic regression analysis. In 2018-2019, there were 8656 cases (451 positive and 8205 negative cases). The results revealed DF symptoms and a 16-30-day stay in endemic areas to be independent risk factors and the presence of three respiratory symptoms and <10 days of short-term travel to be protective factors. These results may enable the accurate assessment of symptoms in travelers with DF as well as the risk factors associated with imported DF, lowering the risk of indigenous DF outbreaks caused by imported DF.
