Critical reflections on post-pandemic dengue surveillance in Quezon city, Philippines.
Article in Tropical medicine and health, 2026. 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
This correspondence critically reflects on the recent article by Medina et al. (2025), "Pre- and post-COVID-19 pandemic identification of dengue hotspots and exploration of determinants in Quezon City." While acknowledging the study's timely contribution to understanding dengue dynamics in an urban context, the commentary identifies several key limitations. These include the absence of a clear theoretical framework, insufficient adjustment for confounding variables, reliance on a single data type without triangulation, weak translation of findings into actionable policy, and notable omissions in the literature review. Addressing these gaps in future research-through stronger theoretical grounding, rigorous methodological control, integration of multiple data sources, and closer alignment with policy and recent evidence-will enhance the scientific depth and practical relevance of dengue epidemiology.
