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

Rapid diagnostic tests (RDT), based on immunochromatography, are widely used for the diagnosis of infectious diseases. For viral respiratory infections, RDT target infections by influenza viruses or respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). For diagnosis of gastroenteritis, RDT can be used for the detection of rotavirus, adenovirus, norovirus or astrovirus. RDT for RSV or gastroenteritis are mainly used in a pediatric context. RDT generally present a high specificity, however their sensitivity is only modest by comparison with molecular technics. Consequently, RDT are essentially considered as screening tests, and their negativity does not allow to exclude the diagnostic of respiratory or gastrointestinal viral infection.
