Socio-ecological factors of dengue preventive practices among Myanmar migrants in Samut Sakhon Province, Thailand.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 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
backgroundDengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection with recurring outbreaks across tropical and subtropical climatic regions worldwide. Dengue was one of the major public health threats and a leading cause of hospitalization in Thailand. High population mobility contributes to the spread of dengue in endemic areas. Our study sought to investigate the level of dengue preventive practices and its associated socio-ecological factors among Myanmar migrants in Samut Sakhon Province, Thailand.
methodsA cross-sectional study was carried out in Mueang Samut Sakhon District, Samut Sakhon Province, Thailand. A total of 415 participants from three migrant clusters within the district were recruited by using voluntary response sampling. Participants were approached during their leisure time with the help of community leaders. Data collection took place between June and July 2024 through interview-administered questionnaires, facilitated on mobile devices using KoboToolbox.
resultsGood levels of dengue preventive practices were reported by more than half of the respondents (56.6%). Multiple logistic regression revealed that participants residing in Thailand for ≥ 3 years (AOR: 1.647, 95% CI: 1.003–2.706), those with high knowledge about dengue (AOR: 1.741, 95% CI: 1.119–2.708), those reporting high social support for dengue prevention (AOR: 1.978, 95% CI: 1.255–3.118) and those exposed to five or more sources of stagnant water (AOR: 2.751, 95% CI: 1.476–5.128) were significantly more likely to practice effective dengue prevention.
conclusionWhile over half of Myanmar migrants in Samut Sakhon demonstrate good dengue preventive practices, notable gaps remain in knowledge, social support, and community engagement. Tailored health education targeting newly arrived migrants, strengthened social support networks, enhanced risk communication, and multi-stakeholder collaboration are recommended to sustain and improve dengue control efforts in migrant communities.
