Respiratory syncitial virus in children with acute respiratory infections.
Article in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo study the nutritional status of children with Respiratory Syncitial virus infection.
methodsOne hundred and twenty six children with acute respiratory infection, between the age of 4-24 months, were investigated for RSV infection with bronchiolitis, pneumonia and upper respiratory tract infection. Nasopharyngeal aspirates were collected and cytokine responses were determined by ELISA. Upper respiratory tract infections were detected in 16.66%, bronchiolitis in 30.15% and Pneumonia in 53.17% children.
resultsOf the 126 patients, 46.66% children were positive for RSV while 58.33% were negative for RSV. Children with bronchiolitis were more commonly positive for RSV compared to URTI and pneumonia. RSV was almost equally distributed among boys (42.5%) and girls (48.7%). More children were RSV positive when the mean age lesser (8.4 mo) was compared to RSV negative (9.93 mo). Well nourished children and children with normal birth weight had more RSV positives, though not statistically significant. In a sub sample analysis of cytokines done (n=25), Interleukin-2 and Interleukin-8 levels were higher in the RSV positive children and these levels declined after 5 days of illness.
conclusionsRSV is more commonly associated with bronchiolitis in younger infants with normal birth weight or more weight for age (WFA). Proinflammatory cytokine IL-8 was secreted at high concentrations in the nasopharyngeal aspirate in all the children.
