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 fever is a fatal viral illness affecting almost all age groups and is seen in almost all tropical countries. Ultrasonography (USG) can be a useful tool for the assessment and diagnosis of dengue fever. Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate X-ray and ultrasound findings in children with dengue fever. Material and Methods: This was a prospective and cross-sectional study that was carried out in a hospital in Mumbai for over one year. All relevant data were collected, validated, and analyzed statistically on the software Epi Info 7. Results: Abnormal X-ray findings noticed were pleural effusion, pneumonia, and bilateral nodular opacities. Pleural effusion and respiratory complications were more common in severe dengue ( Conclusion: Ultrasonography is a good modality for the diagnosis and evaluation of dengue patients. Serial ultrasound should be done for the assessment and evaluation of said patients.
