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
backgroundThe disease burden of influenza among children in China has not been well described.
objectiveTo estimate the influenza-associated excess hospitalization rate and compare the hospitalization length and costs between pneumonia and influenza (P&I) and other community-acquired diseases (CAD) in Suzhou, China.
methodsWe retrospectively collected hospital discharge data on pediatric patients' discharge diagnosis, hospital costs, and length of hospital stay in Suzhou. P&I hospitalization was defined as a primary discharge diagnosis of pneumonia and influenza disease (ICD-10 codes J09-J18). Other CAD were common community-acquired diseases among children. Negative binomial regression models were used to estimate the weekly P&I hospitalizations in Suzhou. Excess P&I hospitalizations due to influenza were calculated as the difference in P&I hospitalizations between the epidemic period and the baseline period. Baseline was defined as when the influenza-positive rates were <5% for two consecutive weeks.
resultsFrom October 2005 to September 2011, we identified a total of 180 091 all-cause hospitalizations among children <5 years of age in Suzhou City. The rates of P&I and influenza-associated excess hospitalizations were highest in the 2009-2010 pandemic and 2010-2011 post-pandemic seasons. Infants <6 months of age had the highest P&I hospitalization rates, the longest hospital stays (7.5-8.0 days), and the highest hospitalization costs for P&I. Compared with other CAD, children admitted for P&I had longer hospital stays and higher hospitalization costs.
conclusionsThe influenza-associated P&I hospitalization rates and economic burden were high among children. Targeted influenza prevention and control strategies for young children in Suzhou may reduce the influenza-associated hospitalizations in this age group.
