Observational study in Pediatric pulmonology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

objectiveTo determine whether viral coinfection is a risk for severe lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI). WORKING HYPOTHESIS: Children with viral coinfection had a higher risk for admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) than those with a single virus infection. STUDY

designRetrospective, observational study for 10 years. PATIENT-SUBJECT SELECTION: Children between 1 and 60 months of age hospitalized with LRTI.
