Acute Psychosis and Mania: An Uncommon Complication of Dengue Fever.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Dengue fever is primarily known as a mosquito-borne viral infection that causes a range of physical symptoms, ranging from myalgia to bleeding tendencies. However, there is growing recognition of its potential to trigger psychiatric manifestations, although such cases remain relatively rare. We report a case of acute dengue fever in a 25-year-old male who developed mania and psychotic symptoms after one week of infection. A comprehensive diagnostic workup, including laboratory tests, including cerebrospinal fluid analysis, and neuroimaging, confirmed the absence of organic causes for his psychiatric symptoms, except for his prior exposure to the dengue virus. The patient was initiated on mood stabilizers and antipsychotic medications, leading to a gradual improvement in his mental health.
