Cardiac Complications Caused by Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection: Questionnaire Survey and a Literature Review.
Article in Global pediatric health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
We investigated 22 cases of patients with myocarditis during respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection by a questionnaire survey, and performed a literature search to clarify their characteristics. The age distribution was divided into 2 groups, that is, 1 group comprised of patients younger than 4-years old and the other comprised patients older than 15 years. ECG demonstrated disturbance of the conduction system (AV block) in 7 out of 18 patients (38.8%), myocardial damage (ST-T change) in 9 out of 18 patients (50.0%), and tachycardia in 3 out of 18 patients (16.6%). Echocardiography displayed a robust decrease in left-heart function in 12 out of 14 patients. The outcome was 2 deaths, 1 pacemaker placement, 4 patients with mild sequel. Our data suggest that RSV myocarditis caused by RSV infection can be divided into 3 different pathophysiologies, characterized by disturbance of the conduction system, myocardial damage, and increase of autonomy.
