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 fever, caused by a flavivirus transmitted through Aedes mosquitoes, presents a spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from mild to severe. Several neurological complications, including encephalopathy and encephalitis, have been increasingly recognized. Here, we report a case of central venous thrombosis (CVT) as a postinfectious complication of dengue fever. A 38-year-old previously healthy male presented with classic dengue symptoms and later developed persistent headaches and visual disturbances. Neurological examination revealed papilledema, and imaging confirmed CVT involving the superior straight sinus. Prompt initiation of anticoagulant therapy led to gradual improvement in neurological symptoms and partial recanalization of the thrombosed sinus. Our case underscores the importance of considering thrombotic complications in dengue infections, despite the predominance of hemorrhagic manifestations. Understanding pathophysiology and appropriate management of thrombotic events in dengue fever is crucial for favorable patient outcomes.
