Addressing Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices Toward Dengue Fever, Vector Control, and Vaccine Acceptance Among the General Population in Singapore.
Article in Tropical medicine and infectious disease, 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
Dengue remains a public health concern in Singapore, with endemic transmission and recurring outbreaks. This study presents results from a Singapore-focused subgroup of the Growth and Emerging Markets Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (GEMKAP) cross-sectional survey, which assessed public Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) levels related to dengue and prevention. A total of 400 adult respondents from Singapore participated in an online survey conducted between September and October 2022. Overall KAP scores were 48% (Knowledge), 61% (Attitudes), and 36% (Practices). Awareness of dengue transmission was widespread (96% identified mosquitoes as the vector and 97% recognised stagnant water breeding), while fewer respondents recognised the availability of a dengue vaccine (23%) or the absence of a medicinal cure (38%). Trust in the government's dengue control efforts was high, though respondents practised an average of 5.1 out of 10 recommended prevention measures. Of the respondents, 25% had a high willingness to vaccinate against dengue. Multivariate analysis revealed that positive vaccine perceptions, past dengue experience, automatic motivation, and social opportunity were associated with willingness to vaccinate. Respondents supported a multi-pronged dengue management approach combining education, vector control, and vaccination. Future efforts should integrate behaviour change strategies, enhance multi-stakeholder collaboration, and empower communities to ensure sustainable impact.
