Upsurge of human rhinovirus infection followed by a delayed seasonal respiratory syncytial virus infection in Thai children during the coronavirus pandemic.
Article in Influenza and other respiratory viruses, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
backgroundRespiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human rhinovirus (HRV) commonly cause influenza-like illness in young children. The global coronavirus pandemic beginning in 2020 altered the seasonality and prevalence of these respiratory infections in Thailand. We aimed to characterize the upsurge of HRV and the subsequent RSV infection observed among young children who sought medical care at a hospital in Bangkok.
methodsFrom July to December 2020, nasopharyngeal swabs from children ≤5 years of age presented with influenza-like illness were tested for RSV and HRV using reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. Positive samples were Sanger sequenced. Genotyping was performed using sequence and phylogenetic analysis.
resultsUpsurge of HRV infection began in July and was subsequently replaced by a surge of RSV infection from September onward. In 6 months, HRV was detected in 27.5% (158/574) of the samples, of which 44% (69/158) were HRV-A, 7% (11/158) were HRV-B, and 36% (57/158) were HRV-C. Meanwhile, RSV was detected in 40.4% (232/574) of the samples, of which 78% (181/232) were RSV-A and 6% (14/232) were RSV-B. RSV peaked in October 2020, approximately 2 months later than typically seen in previous years. All RSV-A were of subgenotype ON1. Codetection of HRV and RSV was found in 5.1% (29/574).
conclusionsHRV and RSV infection among young children coincided with relaxed local coronavirus public health measures, including the return to in-class schooling. The delayed RSV season in 2020 was predominantly associated with RSV-A.
