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

What is already known about this topic?: Dengue virus (DENV) and Zika virus (ZIKV), primarily transmitted by What is added by this report?: Because DENV and ZIKV share a common mosquito vector, their co-circulation increases the likelihood of dengue-Zika coinfection in both human and mosquito populations. This study documents the first laboratory-confirmed case of dengue/Zika coinfection in China. The patient presented with a fever on the day of entry. What are the implications for public health practice?: This study provides a comprehensive epidemiological and phylogenetic analysis of a dengue/Zika coinfection case imported from Malaysia. Climate change and frequent cross-border travel are heightening the risk of imported mosquito-borne infectious diseases in China. International port cities must therefore strengthen surveillance and diagnostic testing for imported mosquito-borne diseases. For suspected febrile cases, clinicians should consider arbovirus coinfection based on travel history to prevent serious public health risks arising from missed diagnoses.
