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

The treatment for most viral infections in children primarily is supportive. Severe viral illnesses and significant secondary complications that require treatment in the intensive care unit may occur in immunocompromised patients and also in infants and children who were previously healthy. Antiviral agents with specific activity against certain respiratory viruses, herpesviruses, and enteric viruses are available. New drugs are under development, and their use in pediatric patients is a subject of active research. The clinician's knowledge of the mechanisms of action, spectrum of activity, and side effects of these drugs is an important tool for their judicious use in the treatment of the critically ill child.
