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

Objectives: To examine a decade of dengue data in Taiwan, focusing on high-risk groups, the influence of imported cases on local outbreaks, and the role of the climate in disease spread. Methods: A descriptive study was carried out utilizing the statistical databases of the Taiwan Centers for Disease Control. The incidence of dengue was analyzed by age, sex, and administrative area. Chi-square tests and Results: The highest incidence was observed in individuals aged ≥70 years. Comparison of the 2015 and 2023 outbreaks showed a significant surge in dengue incidence in Yunlin County, the first county north of the Tropic of Cancer. Furthermore, no indigenous cases were observed in 2021, the year marked with the longest period of COVID-19 border control in Taiwan. Conclusions: Taiwan should target older age groups and enhance the border control to mitigate dengue outbreaks. Subtropical areas should learn from experienced regions and implement strict preventive strategies against climate change.
