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

Singapore experiences endemic dengue. Vector control remains the primary means to reduce transmission due to the lack of available therapeutics. Resource limitations mean that vector-control tools need to be optimized, which can be achieved by studying risk factors related to disease transmission. We developed a statistical modelling framework which can account for a high-resolution and high-dimensional set of covariates to delineate spatio-temporal characteristics that are associated with dengue transmission from 2014 to 2020 in Singapore. We applied the proposed framework to two distinct datasets, stratified based on the primary type of housing within each spatial unit. Generalized additive models reveal non-linear exposure responses between a large range of ecological and anthropogenic factors as well as dengue incidence rates. At values below their mean, lesser mean total daily rainfall (Incidence rate ratio (IRR): 3.75, 95% CI: 1.00-14.05, Mean: 4.40 mm), decreased mean windspeed (IRR: 3.65, 95% CI: 1.87-7.10, Mean: 4.53 km/h), and lower building heights (IRR: 2.62, 95% CI: 1.44-4.77, Mean: 6.5 m) displayed positive associations, while higher than average annual NO
