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

backgroundDengue is endemic in Burkina Faso with sporadic outbreaks during the decade 2011-2021. Dengue control depends on the ability to predict future outbreaks. This study aimed to forecast dengue cases using historical data between 2016 and 2021.

methodsThe study covered the Central Region, Burkina Faso, with dengue monthly data from the National System of Health Information (SNIS) and environmental data from the National Agency of Meteorology (ANAM). The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model was performed to forecast dengue cases between 2022 and 2025.

resultsDengue cases increased gradually between 2016 and 2021, with seasonal spikes during the year. The 95 per cent confidence interval exceeds 5000 cases by 2023 and reaches about 10,000 cases by 2025. From the ARDL results, the lagged variable Dengue cases (-1) showed a strong positive association (coefficient = 0.76; p-value = 0.00) and the variable Dengue cases (-2) a negative association (coefficient = -0.47; p-value = 0.01). The Population statistically impacted dengue incidence (coefficient = 0.00; p-value of 0.01). Relative humidity (-1) and Relative humidity (-4) positively affected dengue cases (coefficient = 114.26; p-value = 0.00 and 90.84; p-value = 0.00 respectively). Furthermore, Rainfall (-4) had a negative influence on dengue incidence (Coefficient = -6.91; p-value = 0.00. D.Minimum temperature (-3) positively influenced dengue cases (Coefficient = 223.20; p-value = 0.01). D.Wind speed showed a negative relationship (Coefficient = -925.31; p-value = 0.02), while D. Wind speed (-3) had a positive relationship (Coefficient = 875.04; p-value = 0.02). In addition, the ARDL long-run results revealed a positive association between dengue cases and population size (p-value = 0.02), Relative humidity (p-value = 0.01), and D.Minimum temperature (p-value = 0.02), and a negative association with Rainfall (p-value = 0.04).

conclusionDengue cases are forecasted to increase in the Central Region between 2022 and 2025. It is then crucial to develop long-term interventions against dengue, integrated with interventions for other neglected tropical diseases.
