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

Dengue virus infection (DVI) has multiple routes of transmission. Modes of transmission include mosquito bites, perinatal transmission, blood transfusions, organ transplantation, needle stick injuries, or laboratory accidents. DVI in kidney transplant recipients is common in an endemic area. In an endemic area, it is usually caused by a mosquito bite. Solid organ transplantation, including the kidney, has been implicated in the transmission of DVI in the immediate post-transplant period. We describe a case of end-stage renal disease in which the patient got DVI immediately after getting a kidney from a deceased kidney donor. Our patient presented with fatigue and pain around the graft, anemia, thrombocytopenia, coagulopathy, hepatitis, and was found to have a hematoma around the graft. The recipient of the second kidney from the same donor also presented with fever and was found to have dengue. We describe our experience with managing our case, along with a detailed literature review of similar cases transmitted through renal allograft.
