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

Background: Dengue (DG) is a growing global public health threat. Bangladesh continues to endure an increasing burden despite persistent vector-control initiatives. Effective DG prevention relies on adequate community knowledge, favorable attitudes, and sustained protective practices. However, evidence on DG-related knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) remains limited for residents of Rangpur City Corporation (RpCC), Bangladesh. Aims: This study aims to evaluate DG-related KAP and identified socio-demographic determinants of preventive behaviors among RpCC residents. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was performed among 609 adults using a pre-tested structured questionnaire. Associations were examined using χ Results: Most respondents perceived their residences as moderately safe from DG. One-fifth reported prior DG experience, with significantly higher reporting among older respondents and males ( Conclusion: These findings reveal a persistent knowledge-practice gap, underscoring the need for context-specific, community-centered dengue control in RpCC. Targeted risk communication and stronger community-municipal coordination may enhance sustained preventive behaviors and dengue control effectiveness.
