RSV infection among children born moderately preterm in a community-based cohort.
Trial report in European journal of pediatrics, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 5 of them syntheses 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
unlabelledWe aimed to determine the rates of proven respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) hospitalization and disease severity among children born moderately preterm (MP, gestational age [GA] 32-36 weeks, n = 964), children born full-term (FT, GA 38-42 weeks, n = 572), and children born early preterm (EP, GA <32 weeks, n = 524). Our second aim was to identify risk factors for RSV hospitalization among MP. We extracted data from parental questionnaires and medical records, retrieved from a community-based cohort of children aged 43-49 months. The RSV hospitalization rates of MP were higher than FT (3.9 vs. 1.2 %, relative rate 3.2; 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.4-7.1) and equal to EP (3.9 vs. 3.2 %, relative rate 1.2; 95 % CI 0.7-2.1). MP were hospitalized at an earlier age than EP. Disease severity (based on the type of treatment and hospitalization length) was equal in all groups. Risk factors for RSV hospitalization in MP were younger age and lower birth weight. In multivariable analyses, shorter GA and passive smoking independently increased the likelihood of RSV hospitalization in MP.
conclusionThe rates of hospitalization due to proven RSV infection are higher in MP than FT and not different between MP and EP. No difference in disease severity was observed. Among MP, the rates of RSV hospitalization are higher for lower GA and when exposed to passive smoking.
