1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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.: Characterization of the role of respiratory viral pathogens on cystic fibrosis (CF) pulmonary disease is needed. We aimed to determine the association of influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) activity with risk of pulmonary exacerbation (PEx) in persons with CF in the United States. METHODS.: We conducted a cohort study from January 2003 to March 2009 using the CF Foundation Patient Registry merged with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention respiratory virus surveillance data. The primary goal was to determine the association between regional influenza or RSV detections with risk of PEx requiring intravenous antibiotics or hospitalization. We analyzed outcomes by geographic region and week of event using multivariable regression models adjusted for demographic and clinical predictors of PEx stratified for children (<18 years) and adults (≥18 years) to calculate relative risks (RRs) of PEx. RESULTS.: There were 21022 individuals (52% male) in the CF patient cohort in 2003 comprised of 12702 children and 8320 adults. The overall incidence rate of PEx was 521.9 per 10000 person-months. In children, a 10% increase in the proportion of surveillance tests positive for influenza or RSV was significantly associated with increased PEx risk (RR, 1.02; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01-1.03) and (RR, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.02-1.07), respectively. In adults, surveillance tests positive for influenza (RR, 1.02; 95% CI, 1.01-1.02), but not RSV (RR, 0.99; 95% CI, .98-1.01), had a significant association with PEx risk. CONCLUSIONS.: Our large CF population-based cohort demonstrated a significant association between PEx risk and influenza activity in children and adults and with RSV activity in children.
