Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of dengue fever in Fuzhou, China, in 2023.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of dengue fever (DF) in Fuzhou, the capital city of Fujian Province, southeast China.
methodsA retrospective analysis was performed on 251 cases of DF diagnosed at the fever clinic of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Fujian University of Chinese Medicine in Fuzhou City, Fujian Province. Epidemic characteristics, such as the number of cases, age distribution, sex distribution, seasonal distribution, and spatial distribution in each region, were analyzed. The patients' clinical manifestations, signs, auxiliary examinations, and prognoses were analyzed.
resultsThe age distribution of DF cases was mainly concentrated in 30-39 years (20.72%) and 50-59 years (21.12%). There were no sex differences among the patients. Of these cases, 60.16% were concentrated on the lower floors, with retirees having the highest proportion. The seasonal peak of DF in Fuzhou area was from September to November. The SDE plot showed that the cases were mainly concentrated in Jin'an and Gulou districts. Etiological tests revealed serum NS1 antigen (97.61%), serum IgM antibody (15.14%), and serum IgG antibody (0.40%). There were no significant differences in clinical manifestations between the children's and non-children's groups. Laboratory tests have shown that the disease is prone to multi-system dysfunction, including the blood system, digestive system, urinary system and internal environment. ROC curve analysis showed that WBC, N, LY, PLT, and CRP levels had specific diagnostic values for DF.
conclusionsThe epidemiological situation and clinical characteristics of DF in Fuzhou City were analyzed to guide the formulation of reasonable prevention and treatment measures.
