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

One of the causes of infants' hospitalizations is bronchiolitis, while different viral agents could be causative agents. As there is little information regarding the common agents of bronchiolitis in Iranian infants, we designed this study to determine which agents were responsible for hospitalization due to bronchiolitis among infants in an Iranian tertiary center. Two hundred and three infants with bronchiolitis who were hospitalized in Bahrami hospital were enrolled. Data regarding age, sex, duration of hospitalization, exposure to smoking, previous antibiotic usage and fever were collected for all enrolled cases. Throat sample by means of soap was collected and rapid test with immunochromatography (IC) test was performed. Rapid test was positive in 59 (29%) cases and three cases had concomitant infection with two viruses. The most common viral agent was RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus). Mean age was significantly lower in cases with RSV or RSV+ adenovirus infectious in comparison with other two groups (adenovirus or influenza only), while mean duration of hospitalization was significantly longer in RSV/RSV+ adenovirus group. RSV is the most common viral etiology of bronchiolitis in Iranian infants less than one year old, which is related with younger age and longer duration of hospitalization.
