Locally Acquired Dengue Virus Infection in a Non-endemic Area.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 (DENV) infection occurs through the transmission of the virus via mosquito vectors that are largely endemic to subtropical or tropical regions in the world. Patients from non-endemic areas typically report recent travel history and sudden onset of high fever, accompanied by severe headache, retro-orbital pain, and nausea. We present a case of a patient with a locally acquired dengue fever infection in a non-endemic area in Southern California. An extensive medical evaluation was performed by multiple physicians in various healthcare settings, ultimately leading to this diagnosis. Though our patient's presenting constellation of symptoms was consistent with dengue fever, his lack of exposure to an area known to be endemic for DENV made this a surprising and extraordinarily challenging diagnosis. This case report demonstrates the importance of maintaining a high index of clinical suspicion for acute DENV infection in those presenting with an acute febrile illness and findings concordant with this diagnosis.
