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

backgroundDengue infection (DI) is a mosquito-borne arboviral disease primarily transmitted by infected female

objectivesTo analyze dengue prevalence, demographic distribution, clinical symptoms, and serotype patterns in Bangladesh, with an emphasis on urban-rural disparities, gender differences, and serotype evolution.

methodsA systematic search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Global Health (Ovid) databases, reviewing studies published from 2000 to 2024. Following PRISMA guidelines, 25 studies meeting eligibility criteria were selected. Data extraction and quality assessment were independently performed by three reviewers, ensuring methodological rigor.

resultsDengue incidence was higher in urban areas, mainly affecting males aged 20-34, with dengue virus serotype 3 (

conclusionDengue is now firmly endemic in Bangladesh, with clear geographic, demographic, and clinical differences. The dominance of
