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 fever is highly prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions, where it is caused by dengue virus (DENV) and transmitted by arthropods. While DENV infection manifests with a spectrum of clinical symptoms, severe cases can lead to hemorrhagic fever and shock syndrome. Increasing evidence over the past decade has highlighted the neurological complications associated with DENV; however, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Despite this knowledge gap, various central nervous system (CNS)-targeted drugs have shown promise in mitigating DENV-induced neurological impairment. In this review, we provide an overview of the neurotropic features of DENV and summarize current evidence on the antiviral effects of selected nervous system-acting compounds. We also explore the potential mechanisms by which these agents may reduce DENV infection. Given the urgent need for effective dengue therapeutics, repurposing CNS-targeting drugs represents a promising strategy. Finally, we examine the potential and underlying mechanisms for employing neuropharmaceutical agents as one of the antiviral therapies for DENV infection.
