Epidemiology of dengue fever in Hajjah governorate, yemen, from 2020 to 2024.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The world faces ongoing challenges because the increasing number of dengue fever cases has become a major public health concern, with the potential for a pandemic resulting from a lack of attention and neglect. The Hajjah Governorate, located in subtropical regions, has not received any epidemiological studies on the prevalence of dengue fever. Therefore, we designed this study retrospectively to assess the prevalence of dengue fever in Hajjah Governorate over a five-year period (2020-2024). This retrospective study was based on secondary clinical data collected from the Hajjah Governorate Health and Environment Office database between 2020 and 2024. Furthermore, the data were obtained electronically, checked for their completeness and consistency, analyzed statistically, and presented in tables and figures. Of the 10,617 suspected dengue fever cases, 7,784 (73.3%) were classified as dengue fever according to the laboratory diagnosis (4,284; 40.3%) and clinical signs and symptoms (3,500; 33.0%). A higher proportion of DF cases was observed in males (6,994; 74.7%), the age group 5-14 years (1,632; 75.5%), in 2020 (3,756; 81.5%), and in autumn (3,625; 46.6%) and October (2,527; 32.5%). An overall incidence rate of dengue fever was reported at 28.1 cases per 10,000 individuals in Hajjah Governorate, with the highest in males (38.7), the age group of 15-29 years (40.0), in 2020 (16.3), and in Shars District (346.9). The rate of death related to dengue fever was 10 cases (0.13%), with the highest rates observed in males (0.13%), individuals under the age of 5 years (0.57%), and in 2023 (0.48%). The majority of patients experienced fever (99.97%), joint pain (99.1%), headache (98.8%), and muscle pain (73.3%). Additionally, 26 patients (0.03%) displayed symptoms of dengue hemorrhagic fever. These results indicate that the burden of dengue fever is increasing in the study area and poses a significant health challenge to Yemen in the near future if this complex health problem is not addressed. Furthermore, effective vector control, preventive education, targeted vaccination research, and epidemiological surveillance are imperative to address this complex health issue and to minimize its impact.
