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: Human coronaviruses (HCoVs) are associated with upper respiratory tract infections. Although studies have analyzed the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of HCoV-associated infections, no multi-center studies have been conducted in Korean children. We aimed to describe the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of HCoV-associated infection in children. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of children in whom HCoVs were detected using multiplex reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction amplification in five centers from January 2015 to December 2019. Results: Overall, 1,096 patients were enrolled. Among them, 654 (59.7%) patients were male. The median age was 1 year [interquartile range (IQR), 0-2 years]. HCoVs were identified mainly in winter (55.9%). HCoV-229E, HCoV-OC43, and HCoOV-NL63 were detected mainly in winter (70.9, 55.8, and 57.4%, respectively), but HCoV-HKU1 was mainly identified in spring (69.7%). HCoV-OC43 (66.0%) was detected most frequently, followed by HCoV-NL63 (33.3%), and HCoV-229E (7.7%). Two different types of HCoVs were co-detected in 18 samples, namely. Alphacoronavirus-betacoronavirus co-infection ( Conclusion: HCoV-associated infections exhibit marked seasonality with peaks in winter. Patients with lower respiratory tract infection, a history of prematurity, or underlying chronic diseases may progress to a severe course and may need oxygen therapy.
