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

Introduction Dengue is a tropical viral disease caused by dengue virus with varied severity ranging from dengue fever to dengue shock syndrome. In dengue infection, there is thrombocytopenia with platelet activation. According to various proposed theories, activation of platelets during thrombocytopenia leads to changes in platelet parameters like mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), plateletcrit (PCT), and platelet index (PI). So, this study was conducted to correlate platelet parameters with the severity of thrombocytopenia in children with dengue fever at a tertiary care hospital.  Methods An observational cross-sectional study was conducted on 72 children below 18 years admitted with dengue infection at a tertiary care hospital. All 72 patients were divided into three groups depending on platelet count. Group I included individuals with a platelet count less than 50000/mm
