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

backgroundDengue encephalitis, a severe neurological complication of dengue virus infection, is increasingly recognized for its rising incidence and significant public health burden. Despite its growing prevalence, the underlying mechanisms and effective therapeutic strategies remain poorly understood.

methodsCellular atlas of dengue encephalitis was determined by single-nucleus RNA sequencing. Viral load of dengue virus and the level of cytokines expression was detected by RT-qPCR. The target cells of dengue virus were verified by immunofluorescence. The cytotoxic effect of CD8

resultsIn this study, we utilized single-nucleus RNA sequencing on brain tissues from a dengue-infected murine model to construct a comprehensive cellular atlas of dengue encephalitis. Our findings identify neurons, particularly inhibitory GABAergic subtypes, as the primary targets of dengue virus. Additionally, immune cell infiltration was observed, contributing to significant neurological damage. Comprehensive analyses of cell-cell communication, combined with CD8

conclusionWe defined cellular atlas of dengue encephalitis in mouse model and identified the primary target neuron of dengue virus. In addition, we demonstrated the significant cytotoxic effect of CD8
