Clinical observations and outcomes of dengue-associated retinopathy at a tertiary eye hospital in Nepal.
Observational study in BMC ophthalmology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionClinically, the dengue virus can cause hemorrhagic complications or ocular inflammation. This virus can cause anterior uveitis to panuveitis. During acute phase, subconjunctival hemorrhage is a relatively common finding. Dengue associated maculopathy is one of the most common posterior segment findings that include both retinal hemorrhages, cotton wool spots, and macular edema.
objectiveTo identify clinical features and visual outcome of dengue related retinopathy in patients at a tertiary eye hospital. METHODOLOGY: A retrospective observational case series was conducted at the Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology, Nepal focusing on all instances of dengue fever associated with retinal complications during the outbreak from August to October 2022.
resultsThirty-six patients were enrolled in the study, out of them, 18 (50%) were male and 18 (50%) were female. The average age ± SD of the patients was 9.0 ± 17 years (ranged 14 to 76 years). Thirty-five (97.2%) of the patients reported a decrease in vision and among them 25 (71.4%) experienced unilateral vision loss, while 10 (28.6%) exhibited bilateral involvement.
conclusionThe ocular manifestations of dengue-associated eye disease range from vague symptoms to serious, perhaps blinding ocular involvement. Due to the recent increase in dengue outbreaks and the global spread of the dengue virus, all eye care providers should be aware of the many ocular signs of dengue-associated eye illness.
