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

Background: The severities of human adenovirus (HAdV) infection are diverse in different areas of Tibet, China, where a large altitude span emerges. Serious consequences may be caused by medical staff if the clinical stages and immunological conditions of patients in high-altitude areas are misjudged. However, the clinical symptoms, immunological characteristics, and environmental factors of HAdV infection patients at different altitude areas have not been well described. Methods: In this retrospective, multicenter cohort study, we analyzed the data of patients who were confirmed HAdV infection by PCR tests in the General Hospital of Tibet Military Command or CDC (the Center for Disease Control and Prevention) of Tibet Military Command from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2020. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, radiological, and epidemiological data were collected from medical records system and compared among different altitude areas. The inflammatory cytokines as well as the subsets of monocytes and regulatory T cells of patients were also obtained and analyzed in this study. Results: Six hundred eighty-six patients had been identified by laboratory-confirmed HAdV infection, including the low-altitude group ( Conclusions: The findings of this research indicated that patients with HAdV infection in high-altitude areas had severe clinical symptoms and a prolonged course of disease. During clinical works, much more attention should be paid to observe the changes in their immunological conditions. Quarantine of patients in high-altitude areas should be appropriately extended to block virus shedding.
