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 aims: Dengue viral infection (DENVI) can vary from a simple fever to severe dengue infection (SDI) and death. The study aims to identify the utility of serum ferritin (SF) and its association with intensive care unit (ICU) mortality in children with SDI. Patients and methods: This is a prospective cohort study of 144 children aged 1 month to 18 years admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) with SDI. The association between peak SF level with disease severity and outcome variables were assessed. A receiver-operating characteristic curve and a logistic regression analysis were conducted to evaluate the association of peak SF levels with ICU mortality. Results: Our study included 144 children; 83 (57.6%) were males and 61 (42.36%) were females. Among these, 131 (90.97%) recovered, 9 (6.25%) died, 3 (2.08%) underwent liver transplant, and 1 (0.69%) left against medical advice. Median peak SF level was 6732 ng/mL (range 2813-17890 ng/mL). Majority of our patients recovered with standard supportive management alone. In our study, a peak SF level of 15691 ng/mL observed during the PICU stay was a "good" predictor of mortality among patients with SDI, with an area under curve of 0.826. Peak SF level greater than 10000 ng/mL ( Conclusion: Hyperferritinemia is common among children with SDI. A peak SF level > 10000 ng/mL is associated with a higher risk of mortality and disease related complications.
