Ischemic stroke during dengue-Plasmodium vivax coinfection in a young woman: a case report.
Article in Malaria journal, 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
backgroundMalaria and dengue are tropical endemic infections that can cause severe vascular and neurologic complications. Coinfection with Plasmodium vivax and dengue virus is uncommon but increasingly reported in co-endemic areas, complicating diagnosis and suggesting possible pathogenic synergy. Although each pathogen has been linked to stroke, cerebrovascular events during coinfection are exceptionally rare. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a 23-year-old Colombian woman, who recently returned from Chocó, and developed acute right-leg monoparesis after 7 days of fever. Exam: hypotension and jaundice. Labs confirmed P. vivax malaria (8200 parasites/μL) and acute dengue (NS1 antigen positive; IgM-positive/IgG-negative). MRI revealed an acute left ACA infarct. There are no traditional stroke risk factors. She received artesunate-primaquine, supportive dengue care, and aspirin after her thrombocytopenia resolved; her neurologic function improved with rehabilitation.
conclusionsThis case highlights the potential of P. vivax-dengue coinfection to cause ischemic stroke through synergistic endothelial injury. Early recognition, targeted treatment, and coinfection screening are essential in endemic areas, especially during vector expansion.
