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
objectivesTo analyze hematological parameters for potential predictive markers of dengue.
methodsBlood samples were obtained from 146 individuals suspected of having dengue at 2 hospitals in Jazan, Saudi Arabia. Control samples were concurrently collected from healthy adults (n=59). Samples were screened for anti-dengue antibodies by employing enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Hematological parameters, such as hemoglobin (HGB), white blood cells, hematocrit (HCT), platelets count, and red blood cells (RBCs) levels were determined for the dengue positive samples and all the controls.
resultsOf the patients examined, 15% were dengue immunoglobulin M positive and 25% were immunoglobulin G positive. Dengue-infected patients showed lower values of the tested hematological parameters than controls, and significantly lower values were observed for RBCs (
conclusionThe results of this study suggest that prior dengue infections could result in abnormal hematological values, although further research is needed.
