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 infection is a spreading vector borne disease with most severe infection-related fatalities occurring in adults. This study was conducted to explore prognostic indicators of dengue infection severity.

methodsThis study included patients aged over 15 years who were diagnosed with dengue viral infection. Data were collected from nine hospitals across all regions of Thailand between January 2019 and December 2022. Diagnosis of dengue infection was confirmed by a positive result for the NS-1 antigen via RT-PCR, IgM antibody, or IgG antibody tests. Data including gender, age, BMI, underlying disease, clinical characteristics and laboratory findings were collected. Multivariable logistic regression with backward elimination was used to identify a set of prognostic factors.

resultsThe prognostic indicators of severe dengue were age < 55 years (OR = 6.13,

conclusionsThe proposed four prognostic factors can be applied to predict severe dengue infections. These findings may inform the development of a risk scoring system to forecast severe dengue infection, early detection, and appropriate treatment during sickness.
