Global dengue fever management in health systems: identifying strategies, challenges and solutions - a scoping review protocol.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionDengue fever, the fastest-spreading mosquito-borne viral disease, poses a significant global public health challenge. Over the past two decades, its rapid spread has been driven by urbanisation, climate change and international travel, particularly affecting tropical and subtropical regions. Despite its considerable economic burden, effective antiviral treatments and vaccines remain unavailable. This study aims to bridge gaps in dengue fever management by systematically identifying and analysing strategies, challenges and solutions adopted within health systems worldwide. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This scoping review will adopt the methodological framework of Arksey and O'Malley. A comprehensive search will be conducted across databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane Library, along with grey literature sources and manual reference list searches, covering the period from 2003 to 2024, limited to English-language publications. Search strategies will be developed using controlled vocabulary and key terms associated with various components of dengue fever management. Two independent reviewers will screen titles and abstracts based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, followed by full text screening to determine final eligibility. A descriptive numerical analysis will summarise the characteristics of included studies, while a thematic analysis will provide an overview of the literature, encompassing strategies, challenges and solutions. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study, approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences (IR.MUMS.REC.1403.142), adheres to ethical guidelines for handling publicly available data. All findings will be transparently reported and disseminated through peer-reviewed journals, relevant conferences and stakeholder engagement.
