Dengue among Suspected Patients Admitted to Department of Medicine of a Tertiary Care Centre: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Introduction: Dengue virus incidence has been increasing trends in every year due to the expansion of the vectors Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. The objective of this study was to find out the prevalence of dengue among suspected patients admitted to the department of medicine of a tertiary care centre. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among patients admitted to the medicine department from 30 September 2022 to 30 December 2022 after obtaining ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: 019/2022). Demographic, clinical characteristics and laboratory profiles were collected from dengue patients by using a structured questionnaire. Convenience sampling method was used. Point estimate and 95% Confidence Interval were calculated. Results: Among 500 patients, 242 (48.40%) (40.66-56.14, 95% Confidence Interval) were found to be dengue positive. The average age of the enrolled patients was 39.13±20.64 years. Most dengue fever patients were diagnosed in the category of dengue with a warning sign of 234 (96.69%). The mean hospital stay of dengue patients was 4.05±2.03 days, 229 (94.62%) of patients stayed less than 7 days before discharge. Conclusions: The prevalence of dengue among suspected patients admitted to the department of medicine is found to be higher than in other similar studies done in similar settings. Patients with clinical symptoms and laboratory findings corroborating with dengue should undergo early diagnosis and facilitate prompt treatment in individual patients.
