Seropositivity of Chikungunya in Hospital Setting, India: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Indian journal of community medicine : official publication of Indian Association of Preventive & Social Medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Backround: Information about the chikungunya disease burden by age groups and geographic distribution is necessary to guide appropriate control measures. With this, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the disease burden of chikungunya fever in India. Material and Methods: We conducted this systematic review according to the Cochrane Collaboration guidelines. We retrieved relevant articles from PubMed and a free online search. Two investigators screened titles and abstracts and extracted data from the relevant articles. Our primary outcome is the proportion of laboratory-confirmed Chikungunya fever among clinically suspected patients. We used a random effect model to estimate the pooled proportion of Chikungunya fever. Result: A total of 20 articles were included in the quantitative syntheses. The pooled proportion of laboratory-confirmed chikungunya fever from 20 studies estimated using the random effects model is 24% (95%CI: 15-34%). We found the pooled proportion in the southern region was 35% (95%CI: 4-66%), 28% (95%CI: 3-58%) in the western region, 24% (95%CI: 1-48%) in the eastern region, 20% (95%CI: 12-29%) in the northern region, and 4% (95%CI: 1-6%) in North-eastern region. Conclusion: This review emphasizes the need to strengthen the surveillance of disease burden using multiple diagnostic tests and the need for an appropriate molecular diagnostic for early detection of the chikungunya virus.
