Serial bedside echocardiography identifies children at risk of recurrent Dengue shock: a prospective cohort study.
Article in BMC emergency medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundDengue shock syndrome (DSS) is characterised by vascular leakage, although myocardial impairment may contribute to haemodynamic instability. The dynamic interplay between volume depletion and cardiac function during resuscitation remains incompletely understood.
methodsWe conducted a prospective cohort study of children aged 6–15 years with DSS admitted to Hospital for Tropical Diseases in Ho Chi Minh City (2018–2020). Serial bedside echocardiography was performed at shock presentation and at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h post-resuscitation, daily until hospital discharge, at follow-up 1–2 weeks later, and during recurrent shock.
results90 patients were enrolled; 16 (18%) developed recurrent shock at a median of 14 (IQR 11–17) hours after initial resuscitation. During shock, reduced SVI and CI during shock occurred in the presence of preserved LVEF and small IVC diameters, consistent with a preload-limited state. Transient myocardial impairment (MPI > 0.45) occurred in 40 patients (44%), and improved with fluid replacement. At 6 hours after resuscitation, patients who subsequently developed recurrent shock showed distinct haemodynamic profiles, including higher heart rate, lower SVI, lower lateral e′ velocity, higher E/e’, and lower TAPSE. Reduced lateral e’ velocity was also associated with respiratory distress.
conclusionsIn DSS, preload reduction due to vascular leakage appears to be a major contributor to recurrent shock, although transient myocardial involvement may coexist. Focused echocardiographic assessment 6 h after resuscitation may help identify children at risk of recurrent shock before overt deterioration, supporting earlier risk stratification and more targeted fluid management.
