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

backgroundIn Nepal, frequent dengue outbreaks have been reported in the past decades leading abrupt and substantial burden to healthcare system. Thus, this study aimed to assess dengue service readiness and factors influencing readiness at health facilities level.

methodsA convergent parallel mixed method study was conducted in 131 primary healthcare facilities of the Bagmati Province. Key informant interviews were carried out for exploring facilitators and barriers for dengue service readiness.

resultsThe majority of primary healthcare facilities were found with sub-optimal readiness for dengue i.e. 63.4% of facilities and readiness was found varied by health facility type, settings, ecological region, and districts. In the study, health facility type [Primary healthcare centers Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR): 6.1, CI: 1.5-23.9], review and trend analysis practice [AOR: 3.6, CI: 1.1-11.6], and facilities meetings [AOR: 5.8, CI: 1.2-26.7] were identified as key predictors for service readiness. External supervision, quality assurance practice and stakeholder sensitization were explored as facilitators for the readiness.

conclusionsImproving and expanding dengue services in all primary healthcare facilities, and ecological regions, having regular facilities meeting, review and trend analysis practice and stakeholder sensitization can enhance dengue service readiness at facility level.
