Epidemiology of imported travelers with dengue fever in Taiwan from 2011 to 2020.
Article in Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We collected data on imported dengue cases between 2011 and 2020 from Taiwan's Centers for Disease Control to determine changes in the case number and importation rate of dengue. We used open data provided by Taiwan's Centers for Disease Control to extract the number of confirmed imported cases of dengue between 2011 and 2020. From 2011 to 2020, 2883 imported cases of dengue were reported in Taiwan. The importation rate was 25.8 to 46.4 per 100,000 inbound travelers from 2011 to 2020, peaking in 2020. Disease incidence varied between sexes, age groups, seasons (P < .001), and residence from 2011 to 2020. Numerous dengue cases were imported from Indonesia (548 cases), Vietnam (516 cases), and the Philippines (500). For travelers from Taiwan, the risk ratio of becoming infected by dengue was 31,712 for traveling to the Maldives, 3153 to Cambodia, and 996 to Myanmar. In this study, more serotype 1 and 2 strains were reported by Vietnam, and more serotype 3 and 4 strains were reported by Indonesia. Our data indicate that the rate of imported cases of dengue significantly increased annually from 2011 to 2020 in Taiwan, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic (46.4 per 100,000 inbound travelers).
