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

Dengue fever (DF) remains an emerging but underrecognized public health threat in Nigeria, often misdiagnosed as malaria or other acute febrile illnesses due to overlapping symptoms. This case series documents the first clinically and laboratory-confirmed outbreak of dengue in Edo State, Nigeria, between December 2024 and June 2025. Seven patients were diagnosed using RT-PCR atIrrua Specialist Teaching Hospital, with a mean age of 35 years (IQR: 22-45); four were females. The most common symptoms were general weakness (85.7%), headache (71.4%), and vomiting (71.4%), while fever occurred in only four cases. Geospatial mapping revealed clustering within households and local government areas, suggesting focal transmission, likely driven by urban
