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

This study explores the exposure of sylvatic bats to dengue virus (DENV) by detecting neutralizing antibodies against the virus in the Argentinean Yungas. Blood samples from 143 bats were tested using PRNT, revealing DENV-1 antibodies in three individuals (Sturnira lilium, S. erythromos, Artibeus planirostris) from sylvatic habitats of Jujuy. Presence of DENV-1 antibodies in sylvatic bats suggests potential exposure to the virus in wild areas, indicating the potential endemicity of DENV in subtropical areas of Argentina. Further research is needed to understand the mechanism through which DENV has potentially established in wild areas of Argentina and the role of bats as host for DENV.
