The incidence of infectious diseases and viruses other than SARS-CoV-2 amongst hospitalised children in Oslo, Norway during the Covid-19 pandemic 2020-2021.
Article in Journal of clinical virology plus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Background: Measures to reduce spread of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) during the Covid-19 pandemic 2020-2021 may impact other microbiological agents. We aimed to investigate the incidence of infectious diseases and the incidence of viruses other than SARS-CoV-2 amongst children at The Department of Paediatric and Adolescent Medicine, Oslo University Hospital, Norway during 2020-2021 compared to previous years. Methods: Data from April 1st 2020 - March 31st 2021 were compared to data from corresponding 12-months periods 2017-2020. ICD-10 infectious disease diagnoses were collected from the Hospital Diagnosis and Procedure Registry and results of virus PCR analyses of different specimens (mainly nasopharyngeal (NF) and faecal samples) were collected from the Laboratory System at the Department of Microbiology. Results: The number of hospital contacts with acute bronchiolitis, viral pneumonia, gastroenteritis and viral central nervous system infections were reduced by 90% ( Conclusion: The incidence of several paediatric infectious diseases mainly of viral aetiology declined significantly during the Covid-19 pandemic. Some common respiratory viruses were almost completely absent.
