Admitted Dengue Cases among the Adult Dengue Positive Cases in a Tertiary Care Centre: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.

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
introductionDengue is an infectious disease. This disease is prevalent mainly in the terai belts of Nepal. But in the last few years, the cases are in increasing trend in the hilly areas of Nepal. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of admitted dengue cases among adult dengue-positive cases in a tertiary care centre.
methodsThis was a descriptive cross-sectional study done at a tertiary teaching hospital after obtaining ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: 063/2077/2078). Convenience sampling was used. The data of serologically confirmed dengue cases, during the period of 1 August 2019 to 1 December 2019, of ages above 15 years, were collected from the hospital records. Point estimate and 95% Confidence Interval were calculated.
resultsOut of 922 adult dengue-positive patients, 347 (37.63%) (36.04-39.22, 95% Confidence Interval) were admitted. Among them, 154 (44.38%) cases were seen during the month of September. A total of 264 (76.08%) were the inhabitants of the Kaski district. A total of one hundred seventy eight (51.29%) cases were males. The most common symptoms seen were fever among 335 (96.54%) patients and headache among 141 (40.63%) patients. Leukopenia was seen in 192 (55.33%) patients and thrombocytopenia was seen in 165 (47.55%) of the admitted cases.
conclusionsThe prevalence of admitted dengue cases was higher as compared to other studies done in similar settings.
