1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Dengue fever is a major public health concern in India, with outbreaks occurring often and seasonally. This study analyzes general patients' knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) on dengue disease at a tertiary-care hospital in central India. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 300 general patients using a self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were computed, encompassing means, frequencies, percentages, and standard deviations. Results: Participants generally had positive attitudes towards dengue prevention. Many agreed on the importance of using mosquito repellents, maintaining clean environments, seeking medical help promptly, and supporting community mosquito control initiatives. Sociodemographic factors (age, gender, education level, and location) significantly influenced KAP and treatment adherence. Conclusions: This study provides valuable insights into the participants' sociodemographic characteristics and their KAP regarding dengue fever.
