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

backgroundDengue fever (DF) is a mosquito-borne viral illness carried worldwide by

methodsThis retrospective study was performed on 130 diagnosed patients with dengue fever, aged over 14 years. Data collection included patient age, gender, clinical manifestations, hematocrit, platelet count, and evidence of plasma leakage.

resultsMost of the patients belong to the 21-30 year age group, with a greater number of males compared to females. The common presentation of dengue fever was fever and myalgia, observed in 100% and 95.3% of the patients, respectively. A platelet count of less than 1,00,000 was observed in 77% of patients, whereas decreased total leukocyte count (TLC) and hematocrit were observed in 52.3% and 40% of patients, respectively. About 46.15% of patients had bradycardia on examination. Pleural effusion and ascites were found in 20.7% and 15.3% of patients, respectively.

conclusionPatients presenting with fever, hemorrhagic symptoms, or signs of plasma leakage should be promptly suspected, timely diagnosed and managed on the grounds of dengue fever.
