Assessing the impact of flood duration on dengue burden across 108 countries.
Article in iScience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Dengue burden is exacerbated by climate change and environmental disasters such as floods. To quantify this association, we modeled age-standardized dengue incidence rates across 108 countries from 2000 to 2021 using quasi-Poisson regression, adjusting for socioeconomic, health system, and meteorological covariates. Over this period, the global age-standardized incidence rate of dengue increased significantly to 752.04 per 100,000 population. We found that each additional day in mean flood duration was associated with a 0.37% increase in dengue incidence. Stronger associations occurred in the Region of the Americas, high-middle sociodemographic index regions, and among older adults. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating flood risk into dengue early warning systems, disaster preparedness, and vector control strategies to mitigate the public health impacts of climate-related disasters.
