Clinical Implications of Multiplex Pathogen Panels for the Diagnosis of Acute Viral Gastroenteritis.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Acute gastroenteritis remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in both high- and low-resource settings. The development of nucleic acid-based testing has demonstrated that viruses are a common, yet often undetected, cause of acute gastroenteritis. The development of multiplex pathogen PCR panels makes it possible to detect these viral pathogens with greater sensitivity and rapidity than with previous methods. At present, there is insufficient evidence to recommend the routine use of these panels for the average patient with acute gastroenteritis. However, there are specific scenarios and patient populations, such as epidemiology/outbreak surveillance, antimicrobial stewardship, and the care of immunocompromised patients, where these tests could be clinically useful today. Further research on the effect of these syndromic panels on provider antibiotic prescribing behavior and patient length of stay will be necessary to know their ultimate role in clinical practice.
