Spectrum of pathogens of in-patient children and youths with community acquired pneumonia: a 3 year survey of a community hospital in Vienna, Austria.

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
backgroundNo actual data are available on the epidemiology and morbidity of community acquired pneumonia (CAP) in youths and children in Vienna, Austria.
objectiveThe objective was to determine the epidemiology of CAP and morbidity of children hospitalized due to CAP in a tertiary care facility.
methodsDuring three winter seasons youths and children hospitalized due to CAP were enrolled. Testing for viral and bacterial pathogens of pneumonia was performed in a routine clinical setting. Blood cultures were performed; respiratory viruses, Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydia pneumoniae were searched for by an established Real Time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) panel. Clinical signs and indices of inflammation were documented.
resultsOut of 279 children and youths with CAP a causative agent could be detected in 190 (68 %). Viruses and bacteria were diagnosed in 107 (57 %) and 58 patients (30 %), respectively. Co-infection was found in 20 patients (10 %), Mycoplasma pneumoniae or Clamydia pneumoniae in 16 cases (8 %). In seven patients blood cultures were positive. C-reactive protein (CRP) was significantly higher in children with positive Streptococcus pneumoniae antigen (SPAG) than with viral infection and/or co-infection. Clinical parameters showed no statistically significant differences. C. pneumoniae and M. pneumoniae were only diagnosed in children and youths with 5 years and older.
conclusionsTesting for pathogens in CAP in clinical routine achieves a high recovery rate. Blood cultures are rarely helpful, but the molecular testing for viruses seemed to be helpful to establish the diagnosis.
