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 Neutropenic patients are commonly affected by respiratory infections, whereas respiratory viral infections causing high morbidity and mortality are routinely diagnosed in developing countries like India. Our study aimed to investigate the prevalence of respiratory viral infections in pediatric cancer patients with febrile neutropenia.  Methods This prospective study was performed on 45 neutropenia patients with hematological malignancies. Nasal swabs were collected and analyzed by real-time multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR), covering the following viruses: influenza A virus, influenza B virus, human parainfluenza virus (subtypes 1-4), human respiratory syncytial virus A and B, enterovirus, human-coronavirus (HCoV: HKU1, NL63, 229E, and OC43), human bocavirus, adenovirus, human rhinovirus, human-metapneumovirus A and B, human paraechovirus, and a bacterium
