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

Dengue fever is an arboviral infection whose presentation ranges from a mild febrile illness to a multisystem complicated syndrome. We report a case of 58-year-old female presenting with fever, myalgia, arthralgia, and vomiting who was found to be infected with dengue and had electrocardiography changes revealing ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, a rare manifestation in dengue. Dengue fever can affect the cardiovascular system leading to conduction abnormalities, hypotension, arrhythmias, myocarditis, cardiomyopathy, and occasionally myocardial infarction, which has been reported in only a few case reports prior to this. The differentiation between myocarditis and myocardial infarction is essential for which echocardiography and coronary angiography can be helpful. It is essential to keep an eye on the cardiovascular complications in a dengue patient as the presentation can be quite subtle with devastating consequences.
