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 influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus emerged in April 2009 with an unusual incidence of severe disease and mortality, and currently circulates as a seasonal influenza virus. Previous studies using consensus viral genome sequencing data have overlooked the viral genomic and phenotypic diversity. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) may instead be used to characterize viral populations in an unbiased manner and to measure within-host genetic diversity. In this study, we used NGS analysis to investigate the within-host genetic diversity of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus in the upper and lower respiratory samples from nine patients who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). A total of 47 amino acid substitution positions were found to differ between the upper and lower respiratory tract samples from all patients. However, the D222G/N substitution in hemagglutinin (HA) protein was the only amino acid substitution common to multiple patients. Furthermore, the substitution was detected only in the six samples from the lower respiratory tract. Therefore, it is important to investigate influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus populations using multiple paired samples from the upper and lower respiratory tract to avoid overlooking potentially important substitutions, especially in patients with severe disease.
