Investigation of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Outbreak on an Adult Stem Cell Transplant Unit by Use of Whole-Genome Sequencing.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
A viral whole-genome sequencing (WGS) strategy, based on PCR amplification followed by next-generation sequencing, was used to investigate a nosocomial respiratory syncytial virus-B (RSV-B) outbreak in a hematology-oncology and stem cell transplant unit. RSV-B genomes from 16 patients and health care workers (HCWs) suspected to be involved in the outbreak were compared to RSV-B genomes that were acquired from outpatients during the same time period but epidemiologically unrelated to the outbreak. Phylogenetic analysis of the whole genome identified a cluster of 11 patients and HCWs who had an identical RSV-B strain which was clearly distinct from strains recovered from individuals unrelated to the outbreak. Sequence variation of the glycoprotein (G) gene alone was insufficient to distinguish the outbreak strains from the outbreak-unrelated strains, thereby demonstrating that WGS is valuable for local outbreak investigation.
