Dengue Reduction through Education Awareness and Monitoring in Schools (DREAMS) initiative in Puducherry, India: protocol for a hybrid type 3 effectiveness-implementation study.

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
backgroundDengue continues to be a global public health challenge despite sustained control efforts. Dengue control strategies rely primarily on effective METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We propose a hybrid type 3 effectiveness-implementation study to design, implement and evaluate a school-based dengue control initiative in Puducherry. The study will be conducted in three phases: (1) formative research and co-development of the intervention package and implementation strategies, (2) implementation and (3) evaluation. The intervention will be co-developed using the principles of Communication for Behavioural Impact, with school teachers serving as key change agents to deliver knowledge and promote dengue prevention practices among students. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research 2.0 will guide the implementation process across all phases. Evaluation will be carried out using the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance framework, adopting a mixed-methods approach to assess intervention effectiveness, implementation outcomes and cost implications. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The study protocol was approved by ICMR- NIVCR Institutional Human Ethics Committee (IHEC 0123/N/D). All standard ethical practices will be adhered to. Written informed consent (or age-appropriate assent) will be obtained from all participants. Findings will be shared via policy briefs/reports to stakeholders followed by publication in reputed journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: CTRI/2026/02/104985.
