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 continues to pose a global health challenge, particularly in tropical and subtropical areas. Dengue can impact various organs, including the central nervous system, and can cause various neurological symptoms, although stroke is an uncommon complication. Among strokes, ischemic stroke is very uncommon in dengue. A 27-year-old unmarried female was referred to our institution with 8 days of fever and myalgia, 5 days of vomiting, and 3 days of altered sensorium. Small-sized bilateral pupils reacted slowly to light. Chest auscultation revealed diffuse coarse crepitation. Poor general condition and labored breathing led to intensive care unit transfer and intubation. Her contrast-enhanced brain magnetic resonance image showed chronic pontine infarction. She was diagnosed with dengue fever (NS1Ag positive) complicated by bilateral pontine infarction. After a long course of illness, she was finally discharged to home in good recovery status. Clinicians need to be aware of the uncommon dengue presentation of stroke. Treatment is supportive with variable outcomes.
