Incidence and Outcome of Dengue Fever During Pre-monsoon, Monsoon, and Post-monsoon Periods: A Cross-Sectional Study From a Tertiary Care Hospital in India.
Article in Cureus, 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesLately, dengue fever has emerged as a public health concern in India. Overcrowding and climate change facilitated this vector-borne disease. Hence, we carried out this study to evaluate the incidence and outcome of dengue fever in monsoon, post-monsoon, and pre-monsoon periods. Additionally, we correlated the age, platelet count, and duration of hospitalization of the participants.
methodsWe conducted this cross-sectional study from June 2019 to September 2021 at Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS), Bhubaneswar, India. We obtained data (age, gender, organs affected, platelet count, requirement of ICU, platelet transfusion, duration of hospitalization, and outcome) from their case records. R software version 4.1.3 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria) was used for data analysis.
resultsSeven hundred eighteen dengue patients were recruited for this study. Their mean age was 43.2 ± 11.8 years. There were 347 (48.3%) female participants. The mean platelet count of the study population was 132.1 ± 64.7 × 10
conclusionDengue cases were maximum during the monsoon period. Younger individuals and men were more affected. Kidney involvement was the maximum, followed by lungs, liver, and heart. The duration of hospitalization and platelet count were inversely related.
