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

Vertical transmission of the dengue virus is rare and infrequently reported in the literature. We report the case of a term newborn presented with high-grade fever, generalised petechial rash and hepatomegaly at the age of 5 days, with a history of dengue fever in the mother at 3 days before delivery. The diagnosis was nearly missed because the infant's dengue NS1 antigen test was initially negative and subsequently positive. After the convalescent phase, the infant developed a new-onset fever with lethargy and drowsiness. Dengue encephalitis was diagnosed with support from a positive dengue reverse-transcriptase PCR in the cerebrospinal fluid. This report has shown the importance of clinical awareness. Early recognition of congenital dengue and vigilant monitoring will contribute to appropriate early management and decrease neonatal morbidity and mortality.
