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

Many infectious diseases are known to have increased severity among pregnant people, yet limited data exist on the burden of dengue in this population. This systematic review collated studies conducted from 2010 onward to capture epidemiological data and a variety of pregnancy outcomes of those infected with dengue during gestation. Among the 23 included publications, dengue infections in pregnant individuals were most frequently contracted in the third trimester. Dengue-infected mothers appear to be associated with a higher risk of maternal mortality (0-21.7%), pregnancy loss (0-11.6%), and preterm birth (4.3-37.5%) compared with healthy mothers. However, heterogeneity of data, missing quantitative comparisons of outcomes in dengue-positive and dengue-negative pregnant people, and lack of standardization of study methods and measurement emphasize an evidence gap. As dengue infections continue to rise and transmission boundaries expand, it is imperative to include pregnant people in dengue studies, surveillance, and public health measures.
