The Epidemiology of Influenza Virus Infection and Group A Streptococcal Pharyngitis in Children Between 2011 and 2018 in an Outpatient Pediatric Clinic.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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 The frequency of influenza virus infections and group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus (GAS) pharyngitis varies according to populations. We aimed to investigate the frequency of influenza virus and streptococcal pharyngitis infections in a pediatric outpatient cohort with many pediatric admissions in Istanbul. Materials and methods Children with upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) symptoms between 2011 and 2018 who underwent rapid diagnostic tests for influenza virus or streptococcal infection were evaluated retrospectively. Results The total number of pediatric cases admitted between 2011 and 2018 was 185,228, of which 119,928 were under five years old and 66,300 were children over five years old. The mean frequency of the influenza virus was 1,283 per 100,000 children, and the mean frequency of streptococcal pharyngitis was 1,764 per 100,000 children. The frequency of influenza has increased over the years. The frequency of streptococcal infection is higher in children over five years of age, and its frequency has decreased in this group. Conclusions The frequency of influenza virus infection and GAS pharyngitis varies according to years and seasons. Winter and spring were the seasons with the most frequent positive influenza virus and GAS pharyngitis. Although influenza frequency increased annually, this phenomenon was not observed in the frequency of GAS pharyngitis.
