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.

The main objective of our study was to find out the prevalence of dengue fever among patients visiting the Outpatient Department of Dermatology in a tertiary care centre. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among patients visiting the Outpatient Department of Dermatology in a tertiary care centre after taking ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: 09092022\04). Data from 1 June 2022 to 8 September 2022 were collected between 1 December 2022 to 20 February 2023 from the hospital records. The laboratory data of individuals were analyzed to find out the prevalence of dengue fever. A Visual Analogue Scale was used to assess the severity of pruritus. Convenience sampling method was used. Point estimate and 95% Confidence Interval were calculated. Results: Among 7442 patients, dengue fever was found to be in 202 (2.71%) (2.34-3.08, 95% Confidence Interval) patients. The mean duration of fever was 3.02±2.960 days. The mean duration of onset of rash after having a fever was 2.56±2.032 days. The most common cutaneous manifestation was maculopapular rash 70 (34.65%). Conclusions: The prevalence of dengue fever was found to be lower than in the studies done in similar settings.
