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

Objectives: In 2022, Bangladesh had the highest dengue-related fatality (281). This study evaluated clinical profiles to detect early changes to predict dengue fever severity. Methods: This prospective observational study was performed in four government hospitals from June to November 2022 in Dhaka. Febrile patients admitted within 4 Results: We divided 308 patients with confirmed dengue into two groups: 232 (74.3%) in nonsevere dengue and 76 (24.7%) in severe dengue. Men were 205 (66.6%), and the most affected age group was 21-30 years (47.7%). Patients with severe dengue reported a higher number of nausea 80.3%, coughs 57.9%, abdominal pain 56.6%, persistent vomitting 53.9%, dyspnea 35.5%, diarrhea 28.9%, and skin rash at 27.6%. In addition, the disease's febrile phase (≤4 days) showed thrombocytopenia (odds ratio [OR] 6.409, 95% CI 2.855-14.386, p <0.001), hemoconcentration (OR 3.428, 95% CI 1.030-11.405, p 0.045), and hypotension (OR 5.896, 95% CI 1.203-28.897, p 0.029) were associated severe disease. Conclusions: Hypotension, thrombocytopenia, and hemoconcentration during the febrile phase might indicate progression towards severe disease.
