Imported cases of dengue in Rwanda: A call for One Health integrated surveillance and response system for arboviral diseases.
Article in IJID regions, 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
The true burden of dengue on the African continent is likely underestimated, with approximately 80% of confirmed cases originating from West Africa. In this report, we describe for the first time two imported mild dengue cases detected in travelers returning to Rwanda from Brazil and the Central African Republic. The first case involved a 58-year-old woman from Uganda traveling through Rwanda to Brazil, who presented with fever and lymphadenopathy on June 2, 2024. The second case was a 32-year-old man from Kicukiro District, who sought medical care on September 26, 2024 and exhibited fever and general weakness after visiting the Central African Republic. The traveler from Brazil was infected with dengue virus (DENV)-1, whereas the traveler from Central Africa carried DENV-2. This report underscores the growing risk of dengue being introduced into Rwanda through international travel and highlights the critical need to establish robust cross-border surveillance systems. It calls for improved early detection, active vector monitoring, and the enhancement of national and regional response strategies in line with the International Health Regulations.
