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

Dengue is not endemic in the continental United States; most cases occur in returning travelers. During August-November 2024, a total of 14 locally acquired cases of dengue were identified in Los Angeles County, California, USA. Epidemiologic evidence indicates that locally acquired cases occurred in several neighborhoods, suggesting short transmission chains after introductions from returning travelers. In one neighborhood, evidence supported ongoing transmission for up to 7 weeks. Median patient age was 54 (range 5-79) years; 8 (57%) patients were female and 6 (43%) male, and 6 (43%) required hospitalization. Delays in healthcare seeking and diagnoses were noted; median time from symptom onset to specimen collection for dengue testing was 9 (range 2-34) days. Local dengue transmission in Los Angeles County highlights the emerging threat of mosquitoborne disease transmission in nonendemic areas and the need for rapid and coordinated public health and vector control responses to interrupt transmission.
