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

problemRhinoviruses (RVs), the most common causes of acute respiratory infections in young children and infants, are highly diverse genetically.

objectiveTo characterize the RV types detected with respiratory illness episodes in infants in Nepal. STUDY

methodsInfants born to women enrolled in a randomized trial of maternal influenza immunization in rural, southern Nepal were followed with household-based weekly surveillance until 180 days of age. Infants with respiratory symptoms had nasal swabs tested for twelve respiratory viruses. A subset with RV alone was selected for sequencing of the VP4/2 gene to identify RV types.

resultsAmong 547 RV-only positive illnesses detected from December 2012 to April 2014, 285 samples (52%) were sequenced. RV-A, B, and C species were detected in 193 (68%), 18 (6%), and 74 (26%) specimens, respectively. A total of 94 unique types were identified from the sequenced samples, including 52 RV-A, 11 RV-B, and 31 RV-C. Multiple species and types circulated simultaneously throughout the study period. No seasonality was observed. The median ages at illness onset were 88, 104, and 88 days for RV-A, B, and C, respectively. The median polymerase chain reaction cycle threshold values did not differ between RV species. No differences between RV species were observed for reported respiratory symptoms, including pneumonia, or for medical care-seeking.

conclusionsAmong very young, symptomatic infants in rural Nepal, all three species and many types of RV were identified; RV-A was detected most frequently. There was no association between RV species and disease severity.
