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

Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) causes a range of clinical manifestations, including asthma-like illness, severe respiratory disease, and acute flaccid myelitis. EV-D68 has caused worldwide outbreaks since 2014 and is now recognized as a reemerging infection in many countries. EV-D68-specific PCR assays are widely used for the diagnosis of EV-D68 infection; however, assay sensitivity is a concern because of genetic changes in recently circulated EV-D68. To address this, we summarized EV-D68 sequences from previously reported world outbreaks from 2014 through 2020 on GenBank, and found several mutations at the primer and probe binding sites of the existing EV-D68-specific PCR assays. Subsequently, we designed two novel assays corresponding to the recently reported EV-D68 sequences: an EV-D68-specific real-time and seminested PCR. In an analysis of 22 EV-D68 confirmed cases during a recent EV-D68 outbreak in Japan, the new real-time PCR had higher sensitivity than the existing assay (100% versus 45%,
