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

BACKGROUNDIn 2024, multiple transmission foci of dengue virus serotype 2 (DENV-2) were detected across four Italian regions, resulting in the largest number of autochthonous cases ever recorded in mainland Europe.AIMWe aimed to characterise DENV-2 transmission patterns in Italy in 2024.METHODSWe analysed 296 locally acquired cases with symptom onset between 31 July and 31 October. Using detailed spatiotemporal data, we reconstructed transmission chains between cases with well-documented exposure sites, applying a Bayesian framework. We estimated the generation time and net reproduction number (R
