Cost-Benefit Analysis of Real-Time Influenza Testing for Patients in German Emergency Rooms.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundSeasonal influenza causes significant morbidity worldwide and has a substantial economic impact on the healthcare system.
objectiveTo assess the cost-benefit relation of implementing a real-time influenza test in emergency rooms (ER) of German hospitals.
methodsA deterministic decision-analytic model was developed simulating the incremental costs of using the Solana
resultsThrough base-case analysis and assuming an influenza prevalence of 42.6%, real-time testing with Solana
conclusionsUsing highly sensitive and specific real-time influenza tests in ILI patients at German ER might significantly reduce hospital expenditures.
