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

aimClinical findings, mortality, and morbidity rates differ among influenza subspecies. Awareness of these differences will lead physicians to choose the proper diagnostic and therapeutic strategies and to foresee possible complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical differences of influenza subspecies among hospitalized children. MATERIAL AND

methodsHospitalized children with proven influenza infection by polymerase chain reaction on nasopharyngeal swab specimens in our clinic, between December 2013 and March 2016, were enrolled. These children were divided into 3 groups as Influenza A/H1N1 (n=42), Influenza A/H3N2 (n=23), and Influenza B (n=35).

resultsThe median age of the children was 51.5 months (range, 3-204 months). The most common presenting symptoms were fever (n=83), cough (n=58), and difficulty in breathing (n=25). The most common non-respiratory findings were lymphadenopathy (n=18) and gastrointestinal system involvement (n=17). Sixty-two percent of the patients (n=62) had chronic diseases. H1N1 and H3N2 were significantly more common among patients with chronic neurologic disorders and renal failure, respectively. Leukopenia (n=32) and thrombocytopenia (n=22) were the most common pathologic laboratory findings. Neutropenia, elevated CRP levels, and antibiotic use were significantly more common among patients with H1N1 infection. Seven patients were transferred to the intensive care unit with diagnoses of acute respiratory distress syndrome (n=4), encephalitis (n=2), and bronchiolitis (n=1). Two patients with chronic diseases and H1N1 infection died secondary to acute respiratory distress syndrome.

conclusionsInfluenza A/H1N1 infection represented more severe clinical disease.
