Dengue Mimickers: Which Clinical Conditions Can Resemble Dengue Fever?
Review in Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Epidemics and outbreaks caused by the dengue virus pose risks to populations and have high mortality rates, causing burdens and economic costs worldwide. Brazil recently experienced an explosive increase in the number of dengue cases and fatalities. Dengue is an acute febrile illness that can progress to severe forms. It affects more than 100 countries, presenting ongoing challenges in Brazil and globally since its identification. Other conditions may be overlooked or mistaken for dengue. The most important differential diagnoses are other infectious diseases and rheumatological, hematological, gastroenterological, and neurological disorders. In this article, we discuss the primary differential diagnoses of dengue and offer a literature review highlighting the key clinical differences among clinicians. This review emphasizes the critical importance of differentiating dengue fever from infectious diseases such as meningococcemia and malaria and autoimmune and rheumatological conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus to ensure timely and appropriate management.
