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
Introduction: In 2023, the Savanes region of Togo experienced the country's first major dengue epidemic. This study aims to describe the epidemiological, clinical and evolutionary characteristics of confirmed dengue cases during this epidemic.Patients and methods. This retrospective study examined confirmed dengue cases in the Savanes health region from 15 September 2023 to 29 February 2024.Results. During the epidemic, 57 suspected cases of dengue were reported, of which 27 were confirmed. The average patient age was 32 years (range 10-65 years). The main clinical signs were a pain syndrome (n = 19), fever (n = 19), asthenia (n = 17), anorexia (n = 12) and vomiting (n = 11). The distribution of dengue clinical forms included seven cases of classic dengue without warning signs, 15 cases of dengue with warning signs, and five cases of severe dengue. Haematological parameters showed an increase in white blood cell count, particularly in severe dengue cases. Biochemically, renal and hepatic parameters increased in cases of dengue with warning signs and severe dengue. Two deaths from severe dengue were recorded, representing a case fatality rate of just over 7%. Conclusion: This study reports the first major dengue epidemic in northern Togo. A significant proportion of cases were found to be intermediate (warning signs) or severe.
