Correlation between CRP and ferritin in dengue patients: A hospital-based prospective observational study.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: In India, dengue is one of the health challenges and a leading cause of hospitalization, especially during the monsoon. C-reactive protein (CRP) is an independent marker for dengue severity. The present study aimed to analyze the correlation between CRP and ferritin and with other hematological markers in dengue fever (DF). Methods: A hospital-based prospective study was conducted over one year. With the patient's consent, A total of 189 dengue-diagnosed hospitalized patients aged more than 18 years were included in the study group. Demographic features, total leukocytes, total platelet counts, packed cell volume, CRP, and ferritin were monitored in both severe and non-severe cases. Significant univariate parameters were correlated and significant associations were analyzed from the correlation coefficient and Result: A total of 189 dengue-diagnosed, hospitalized patients were recruited, among them 30 patients were diagnosed as severe and 159 patients were diagnosed as non-severe. The mean age ranged between 41 ± 16.7 and 42 ± 15.9 years. In univariate analysis, total leucocytes, CRP, and ferritin were significantly higher in dengue severe cases in comparison to non-severe dengue cases. The association between CRP and ferritin revealed a positive correlation whereas, the association between ferritin and total platelet count showed a negative correlation. Conclusion: A significant positive correlation between CRP and ferritin indicates that ferritin can be an additional biomarker along with CRP for the hospitalization of dengue patients and may be useful for severity prediction at an early stage of infection.
