Spectrum of Neuromuscular Manifestations in Dengue: A Systematic Review of Case Reports and Case Series.
Article in Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesWhile the systemic features of dengue are well-documented, its neuromuscular manifestations remain under-characterized. We aimed to systematically review the published literature on the spectrum, clinical features, diagnostics, management, and outcomes of neuromuscular complications associated with dengue infection.
methodsA comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Google Scholar up to March 9, 2025. Case reports, case series, and observational studies reporting individual-level data on dengue-associated neuromuscular complications were included. Data extraction and quality assessment were performed independently by multiple reviewers, and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses framework was followed. The protocol was registered with PROSPERO (Registration ID: CRD420251008871).
resultsA total of 137 articles describing 171 individual patient cases were included. Guillain-Barré syndrome (n = 57), myositis/myopathy (n = 38), rhabdomyolysis (n = 24), and hypokalemia-induced paralysis (n = 31) were the most commonly reported manifestations. Less frequent complications included mononeuropathies, radiculopathy/plexopathy, and neuromuscular junction disorders. Most cases were reported from South and Southeast Asia. The majority of patients responded well to supportive or immunomodulatory therapies. The overall prognosis was favorable, with full or near-complete recovery in most cases.
conclusionsDengue can cause a wide range of neuromuscular complications, often requiring early recognition and targeted management. Clinicians should be aware of these manifestations, especially in endemic regions.
