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

Dengue virus produces dengue fever, which can cause severe manifestations. Virus serotype and genotype may impact the epidemiology and severity of the disease. At the Hospital México (Costa Rica), dengue diagnosis and serotyping are performed with molecular tests, but selected samples are sequenced using Illumina technology. In May 2024, we analyzed two dengue-positive samples through genomic sequencing and detected dengue serotype 2, Cosmopolitan genotype. Phylogenetic comparisons revealed that the Costa Rican genomes are closely related to those from Brazil, Peru, and Colombia. Molecular dating estimated that the sequences from Costa Rica diverged in January 2024, suggesting that this genotype may already have been circulating in the country. The emergence of this genotype could impact the severity and epidemiology of dengue in Costa Rica. Therefore, genomic and epidemiological surveillance of dengue cases locally is important to better understand the public health impact of this new genotype in the country.
