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 burden of pneumonia, especially that caused by respiratory viruses, is markedly high in the pediatric age group. This study aimed to assess viral agents causing severe pneumonia among mechanically ventilated patients. Nonbronchoscopic bronchoalveolar lavage was performed for pediatric patients having severe pneumonia indicated for mechanical ventilation to be tested with a multiplex PCR immediate diagnosis of their etiologic pathogen. Among the 75 patients recruited, viral agents were detected in 73.4% of cases. Rhinovirus and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) were the most common viruses detected in 32.1% and 29.5%, respectively. The rate of viral infection showed a clear increased incidence in the winter season. The mortality rate among viral-associated severe pneumonia reached 56.36%. Odds of mortality increased threefolds in presence of comorbid conditions and 10-folds with congenital heart disease. The study demonstrated the neglected importance of rhinovirus besides RSV in causing severe critical pneumonia in the pediatric age.
