An outbreak of influenza B in an isolated nomadic community in Jammu & Kashmir, India.
Article in The Indian journal of medical research, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
BACKGROUND &
objectivesCommunity outbreaks of disease amongst nomadic populations generally remain undocumented. Following a reported increase in acute respiratory tract infections (ARI) in May 2011 in a nomadic population of Sangerwini in Jammu & Kashmir, India, we examined the patients with ARI symptoms and their nasal swabs were tested for influenza virus.
methodsPatients with ARI (n=526) were screened from May 14 to 23, 2011 and nasopharyngeal swabs collected from 84 with Influenza like illness (ILI) for bacterial cultures and influenza virus testing. Samples were tested for influenza A and influenza B by real time (RT)-PCR.
resultsTwelve (14.3%) of the 84 patients tested positive for influenza B, compared to only one (0.9%) of 108 patients with ILI in a parallel survey performed in Srinagar during the same period, suggesting a localized outbreak in the isolated nomadic community. All presented with respiratory symptoms of less than seven days. Familial clustering was seen in 40 per cent (25% of influenza B positives). Average daytime temperatures ranged from 15-16 ° C compared to 22 ° C in Srinagar. Four patients developed pneumonia whereas others ran a mild course with a total recovery with oseltamivir and symptomatic therapy. INTERPRETATION &
conclusionOur report of confirmed influenza B in this underprivileged nomadic population argues for routine surveillance with efforts to improve vaccination and infection control practices.
