Exposure to West Nile virus during the 2002 epidemic in Cuyahoga County, Ohio: a comparison of pediatric and adult behaviors.
Article in Public health reports (Washington, D.C. : 1974). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectivesEmerging evidence suggests that children are at higher risk for West Nile virus (WNV) exposure, but may have a lower risk for infection-related morbidity and mortality. Limited data exist regarding risk determinants of childhood WNV infection. We conducted a survey to analyze the differences between pediatric and adult behavior relevant to WNV exposure.
methodsResidents of participating sampled households responded to a questionnaire that measured knowledge, attitudes, personal protective behaviors, and clinical history to evaluate the association between personal behavior and exposure to WNV.
resultsChildren were more likely to have high levels of outdoor exposure compared to adults (83% vs. 70%). Children were less likely to avoid going outdoors (4% vs. 13%) and to wear long sleeves or pants compared to adults (8% vs. 19%). Both groups were highly educated about WNV. Television, not health-care provider education, was the most common source of WNV information. Participants were more concerned about WNV infection than pesticide usage.
conclusionsOur study demonstrates that children exhibit behaviors that could put them at greater risk for WNV infection and suggests that children could benefit from greater education about practices that can decrease WNV exposure to limit their risk for infection.
