Prevalence and characteristics of dengue virus co-infection in patients and mosquitoes collected from patients' houses.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Co-infection with multiple DENV serotypes can affect human immune status and complicate the clinical presentation and management of dengue patients, so understanding the prevalence and dynamics of co-infection is important for effective dengue control. We aimed to identify and characterize DENV co-infection patterns in field-caught mosquitoes and dengue patients. This study was conducted in northeastern Thailand between June 2016 to August 2019. Female Aedes mosquitos collected from and around dengue patient's houses were analyzed for DENV infection and presence of serotypes using RT-PCR. DENV serotyping was successful in 154 (39.49%) of human and 165 (14.26%) of mosquito samples. Prevalence of DENV co-infection in patients and mosquitoes was 22.73% (35 cases) and 28.48% (47 samples), respectively. Co-infection with multiple serotypes were double (human 88.57%, mosquito 89.36%), triple (human 5.72%, mosquito 10.64%) and quadruple (human 5.72%, mosquito 0%) infections. Concurrent infection was different between hosts and concurrence patterns of DENV serotype in each host mostly composed of the predominant serotype of the detected year. This is the first report that show DENV co-infection patterns in field-caught mosquito and in dengue fever patients with combinations of triple and quadruple serotypes in Thailand. These finding are potentially useful for understanding shifts in serotypes, concurrent DENV infection patterns, vaccine development, and further research on the ability of vectors to transmit multiple serotypes.
