Climate-driven dengue fever outbreaks in Nepal: Trends, challenges, and strategies.
Article in World journal of virology, 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
Dengue fever (DF) has become a major public health concern in Nepal, with increasing outbreaks in recent years. Transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, this climate-sensitive viral disease presents a significant challenge for healthcare providers and policymakers. Since 2004, Nepal has experienced a sharp increase in DF cases, peaking in 2022 with 54784 cases and 88 deaths. The surge, driven mainly by serotypes 1, 2, and 3, is exacerbated by climate change, which prolongs mosquito breeding seasons due to warmer temperatures and increased rainfall. This trend has even impacted previously unaffected hilly regions. Effective dengue control strategies must focus on climate change adaptation, strengthening healthcare system reinforcement, raising public awareness, and enhancing vector control measures. Government initiatives, like the national dengue control program, play a critical role, but research and community engagement are also vital for prevention and early detection. Integrating climate resilience into public health efforts is essential to reducing the dengue burden in Nepal.
