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

Respiratory virus infections are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in bone marrow transplant patients. A retrospective study was performed on the bone marrow transplant unit at the Christie Hospital Manchester. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency, clinical presentation, laboratory diagnosis, types of intervention (eg antiviral agents used) and the outcome of such infections in this cohort of transplant recipients. Data were collected from a total of 626 adult patients and showed 27 patients with 29 confirmed episodes of viral respiratory tract infections. The viruses present were rhinovirus (40%), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) (22.2%), influenza A (18.5%), parainfluenza (PIV) (14.8%) and enteroviruses (7.4%). The overall frequency of documented respiratory virus infections was 4.3% during the 5-year period of the study. The prevalence of respiratory viral infections was 7.8% among allogeneic and 2.3% among autologous transplant recipients. The frequency of lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) was 3.0% among allogeneic and 1.3% among autologous transplant recipients. Eight patients died (seven had allogeneic transplants). Three of these deaths were directly attributable to a respiratory viral infection (two rhinoviruses; one PIV 3). This study further supports the role played by human respiratory viruses in transplant-associated morbidity and mortality, and particularly highlights the significance of rhinovirus infections.
