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

Dengue fever, an acute mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by dengue virus (DENV), is primarily endemic in tropical and subtropical regions. In recent years, the global incidence of dengue has increased dramatically. Since 2023, widespread outbreaks have been reported across numerous countries in the Americas, Asia and Africa. According to the World Health Organization, more than 5 million dengue cases were reported globally in 2023, while the number surged to over 14 million cases with more than 10,000 deaths in 2024-marking the highest global burden ever recorded. A similar upward trend has been observed in China, which experienced its largest dengue outbreak in a decade in 2024, with Guangdong Province accounting for the majority of domestically reported cases. These epidemiological patterns highlight the rapid expansion of dengue transmission, driven by climate change, accelerated urbanization and increased human mobility. In this context, vaccine development has become a public health priority. To date, two vaccines-Dengvaxia and Qdenga-have been licensed for clinical use. Six other vaccine candidates are currently in clinical trials, among which the tetravalent live-attenuated vaccines TV003/TV005 are considered the most promising. Despite considerable advances in dengue vaccine research, significant challenges remain, including the need to elicit balanced immune responses against the four serotypes and to reduce the risk of antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE). Taken together, this review systematically summarizes recent global and regional trends in dengue fever and the current progress in dengue vaccine development, collectively offering a valuable resource for informing prevention and control strategies.
