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

Introduction: Dengue virus (DENV) is an arboviral infection transmitted by female mosquitoes of the Objective: To describe the epidemiological behavior of dengue cases in a population from the Andean region of Colombia. Methods: This observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study analyzed 300 randomly selected patient records from a total of 1400 cases reported in 2024. Results: No significant associations were found between disease severity and patient sex or geographical location. However, age range and platelet count were key factors, with younger patients more likely to have mild dengue and platelet abnormalities being the strongest predictor of severity. Conclusions: This study identifies platelet count abnormalities as the strongest factor associated with dengue severity, reinforcing their role as a key predictor of disease progression.
